# Free music and nightlife video templates > Now-playing cards, vinyl drops, lyric videos, gig posters, DJ announcements and festival lineups for artists, venues and promoters. - Page: https://cutluma.com/templates/category/music-nightlife - 21 templates; each opens in the editor with a free account and exports as MP4. Musicians and venues promote the same way every week and rarely have a designer. This category covers the cycle: a now-playing card and vinyl-single reveal for a release, a lyric-video template for the feed, a mixtape or playlist cover, a gig poster with date and venue, a “DJ tonight” card, a festival-lineup list, a ticket-on-sale countdown and a set-times board. Most are 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, where music discovery happens, with square posters for the feed and 16:9 for YouTube lyric videos. Drop in your cover art, type the track name and the artist, and the release post is done. The lyric template takes the lyrics as text clips you time against the audio on the timeline; the waveform designs react to the music visually. Venues get the gig poster and DJ cards, where the date, time and door price are the only fields that change week to week. Export at 1080p; use your own music file, which you have the rights to publish, as the soundtrack. ## Templates - [Now playing](https://cutluma.com/templates/now-playing) — 9:16, 10 s, Music & nightlife: A frosted-glass music player over a warm red aura: album art, song and artist, a progress bar that fills as the video plays, ticking time and player controls.

Edit the night, venue and lineup. ## Tips - **Release posts need the title, the artist and where to listen** — The now-playing card has fields for all three. Put the platform name in the small line so people know where to tap. - **Time lyrics to the vocal, not the beat** — In the lyric template, drag each line’s text clip to begin exactly when the word is sung. A half-second lag reads as wrong. - **Keep the gig poster to one night** — A poster per show, with date, venue and door time, performs better than a monthly list. Duplicate the project for each date. ## FAQ **Are the music video templates free?** Yes.
