Who is actually in this room

top 50 acts · affinity 0.943–0.962

Qloo ranks the 50 acts whose audiences sit closest to The Stone's own local crowd. This is the room's audience, expressed as names rather than segments — the people who are already there, not the touring acts who fill it on the nights they come through.

Two independent axes, deliberately never combined into one number. Taste fit is this list's ordering. Draw is the popularity column. An act can sit at either extreme, and a booking decision needs both — which is why Roomtone shows them separately and never merges them.

The room's taste, distilled

Every act above carries dozens of taste tags. These are the ones held by enough of the room's crowd to describe it — weighted by how much affinity mass each tag carries, so a genre every act shares outranks a trait that appears once.

Which brands this crowd already buys

Qloo's brand affinity is sharp from an act and diffuse from a venue, so this is composed: the brands whose audiences overlap the local acts whose audiences are closest to The Stone's crowd — built from 8 of them, weighted by how close each is to the room.

Reach is the affinity-weighted share of this room's audience overlapping each brand. Hover any brand for the local acts that connect it to the crowd.

This is a read of who is already there, not of who a touring headline would bring on a given night. Live Nation Media & Sponsorship booked most of its 2026 commitments before the year began; by its own account there is no independent measure of whether those brands reached the audience they were sold. Roomtone sells no sponsorship, which is the only position this read is credible from.
