How an index is made.
- 01
The question
Every index answers one thing a reader asks: who to hear this summer, which closing to plan a trip around, which town to ski from.
- 02
The criteria
Each index says what it weighs and what it leaves out: the house’s opinion, a count of festival bookings, the dates of a season. None is a public vote or a sales chart.
- 03
The sources
Dates, residencies and line-ups are checked against official listings, and an entry links to its source wherever one exists.
- 04
The review
Every index carries the date it was last checked, and is corrected when a date or a line-up changes.
