10 Best Facebook Groups For Sharing & Promoting Music

The Music Launch Hub is considered the best Facebook group for artists from all over the world to communicate with each other and help each other in times of need. As its name suggests, the focus of this group is to help artists launch their music by sharing it with other musicians inside the group. They have a strict promotion policy that only allows artists and bands belonging to the group to publish a post to promote themselves or their concerts, this way you don’t have to worry about a ton of spam from promoters or other third parties.

Whether you need a little inspiration to finish writing your new album, need a little help getting into a festival or find a way to contact someone important in the music industry, this group is sure to find someone willing to help you. 

The DIY Tour Postings group is your ideal Facebook communication go-to place if you are a musician who is planning a tour, looking for opening acts, searching for gigs to play, or are a talent buyer or scout searching for potential acts to book at your next show.   

Here you can find advice of all kinds from other musicians who have already experienced a tour and who want to help others cope with the pressure and stress that comes along with the touring lifestyle. It is also really beneficial for artists and booking agents who at the last minute need to add a band to the lineup or sell tickets to a show that isn’t advancing as successfully as hoped for. Here you will be able to promote yourself without censorship and they will help you to fill your concerts with people. 

Created by Mike Ziemer, this group is yet another in the long list of networking groups currently operating on Facebook that aim to create an open space for discussion and support among artists from all over the world. It generates great discussions on everyday topics within the music industry that many musicians who are just starting out will find helpful to listen to: record labels, access to music festivals, music licensing, marketing, touring, etc.

In addition, it's not only a great place to get advice, it's also a very useful group to expand your contacts in this world and start making solid friendships that can help you grow as an artist in an industry full of competition.

With the main objective of exchanging opportunities and opinions about the music industry, this curious group hosts millions of artists and promoters from all over the music world who chat with each other and share anecdotes, concert dates and volunteer opportunities with the purpose of helping each other and shortening distances. 

The one degree of separation couldn’t be more true in an industry as exclusive as the music industry. In this group those distances disappear and everyone sits down to chat as friends and colleagues with common interests in mind.

Created by the expert in website and branding of the music industry Katherine Forbes, this a great group to join if you are a woman in the music industry looking for networking or connection opportunities. This group is exclusive to females only because it aims to provide professional support to women looking to break into a male-dominated industry, while also helping them to solve any questions or problems they have. 

This is a fantastic group complemented by a great website where females in the music community can gain strength through accompaniment of mutual industry professionals. Though this group is not  necessarily dedicated to music promotion, its a good place to go to find connections where you can then promote your music outside of Facebook as well. 

This is another great group exclusively for supporting female musicians. The name of the group stands for Girls Behind the Rock Show and its function is the same as the rest of the communication groups on Facebook: ask questions, seek support or offer it, and make interesting discussions on the big issues surrounding the music scene. 

The group stays organized through hashtags, and you must use one of their provided hashtags on their homepage to make a post. This way if you are going to the group to solely look for advice, you can  search #GBTRSAdvice and only be shown the posts including helpful information without digging through irrelevant content. Important to note: the GBTRS group only allows self-promotion on Wednesdays. This is also to help organize the page content and combat clutter from spam. 

Just like the name sounds, this Facebook group is all about sharing music and getting or giving feedback on music. Although you can promote your personal music freely on this page, they ask that there is no show, concert, or festival promotion, or any posts asking people to buy tickets to an event. 

This group is visible to the public so I would highly recommend any artist or band check it out. Again, you never know where a talent scout or record label A&R may go to look for the latest indie artist they may want to sign.
