The LengPleng Soapbox Speech of the Week

Getting bums on seats and beer into patrons: how venues and performers can use Lengpleng.com to the greatest advantage

TLDR:

  • Gig listings throughout Cambodia, every Thursday afternoon, from our page com, via email (subscribe at gigs@lengpleng.com), and our Facebook page.
  • Absolutely free: no charge to use or list
  • Performers and venues: just send us the name of the act, the time and date, and a link to the venue (Facebook or otherwise). It’s even easier than setting up a Facebook event.
  • Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Kampot, Kep, Battambang, Koh Rong – we aim to cover these and any another locations
  • Bonus for providing a poster or image – that gets you in the video weekend preview
  • Even more bonus if you have a special event or visiting act that would warrant a full length interview for added promotion
