PerformingArtsEvent

PerformingArtsEvent is an Event subtype for live performances that span multiple genres. If you know the specific genre, use the more specific subtype: MusicEvent, DanceEvent, TheaterEvent, or ComedyEvent. Use PerformingArtsEvent when the event mixes genres or does not fit any specific subtype. It adds no properties of its own.

For a complete property walkthrough, see the Event example. Every property shown there applies to PerformingArtsEvent. Replace "@type": "Event" with "@type": "PerformingArtsEvent".

Common PerformingArtsEvent mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using PerformingArtsEvent when a more specific type exists

    Wrong
    "@type": "PerformingArtsEvent" for a concert
    Right
    "@type": "MusicEvent" for concerts, "DanceEvent" for dance, "TheaterEvent" for theater, "ComedyEvent" for comedy

    PerformingArtsEvent is the generic parent. Use the more specific subtype when the genre is known. Only fall back to PerformingArtsEvent for mixed-genre showcases.
