Get out of the house.
Every city has more to offer than anyone ever tells you. Concerts in basements you have never heard of. Openings at the museum down the street. A festival six stops away you would have loved if only someone had mentioned it. TodoWeekend exists to mention it.
The mission
Every country. Ten million events. One live map. The goal is not another app with a curated weekend guide for two or three cities. The goal is everywhere, so that nobody on earth has to spend another Saturday night trying to remember what was in that newsletter they deleted.
If a thing is happening this weekend and you could walk, bike, bus or fly to it, it belongs on TodoWeekend. That is the whole brief.
The problem
Good events do not have a marketing budget. A small theatre putting on a one-weekend-only play, a neighbourhood jazz bar booking a visiting trio, a museum opening a new wing on Saturday morning: none of them show up where you are looking. They live in PDFs on council websites, in calendar feeds nobody reads, in posters stapled to lampposts three streets away from wherever you happen to be.
Meanwhile the listings platforms you do know about rank by whoever pays most per click. The top result is almost never the best result. It is the most-promoted result, which is not the same thing at all.
The information exists. The access does not.
What we do about it
We pull events from everywhere they publish themselves: city open-data portals, official venue calendars, cultural institutions, arts councils, festival organisers. We translate them, put them on a map, and rank them by how much of your weekend they genuinely deserve, not by how much somebody paid for the slot.
Then we show you the map. Pan, zoom, click. That is the entire product.
What we will not do
- No ads.
- No sponsored listings.
- No pay-to-rank.
- No login wall. No paywall. No dark patterns.
If a venue wants to move up the map, they have one lever: put on better events. Ranking is not for sale. It never will be.
Tickets, when they exist
Some events have tickets. We want buying one to be the easy part of your weekend, not the part where you give your card details to a sketchy URL you have never heard of. Where it is possible, we plan to offer safe, direct checkout on TodoWeekend itself, with trusted payment processing and the ticket delivered straight to your inbox.
We may take a small commission on those bookings. That commission helps fund the project, but it never, ever moves an event up the map. Ranking and payments are two different systems. The ranking is built so it cannot be bought, and it never will be.
Cities live today
- Madrid, Spain
- Barcelona, Spain
- Sevilla, Spain
- Paris, France
- Berlin, Germany
- London, United Kingdom
Valencia, Bilbao, Málaga and Lisboa are next. After that, every capital in Europe. After that, everywhere else. There are roughly 10,000 cities in the world with a venue worth walking to on a Saturday. We plan to get to all of them.
Who is behind it
TodoWeekend is founded and edited by Santiago Lobo van Wersch, who also runs Displace Agency, the parent company that funds it. That means no outside investors pushing for growth metrics that would compromise the product. The team is small and the domain is the opposite of small. That is fine.
