I am looking to include rich snippets into a site I’m building to reflect a musician’s upcoming tour schedule. I have done some searching on various musicians and have found a few which seem to follow a similar format. I have uploaded two screen shots below to show as an example of what I mean exactly.
Example 1:
Example 2:
What is puzzling me is the fact that when I enter these sites into Google’s Rich Snippet Test Tool, no data shows up. Furthermore, when I check the source for one of the tour pages, there are no rich snippets incorporated into the code. How are these sites managing to get their tour dates listed in this format?
You are correct, these band pages are not implementing rich snippets of any form. What Google is actually doing is showing information pulled from other sites about that band. This information comes from the sites listed on the “More Info” line. These 3rd party sites are the ones implementing rich snippets into their pages.
I don’t have enough rep to comment on Oded’s “answer” to this question, but he is completely wrong. Microformats are an accepted form of rich snippet markup, just like microdata and RDFa. I would recommend going with Schema.org microdata on your site, though, since Google is presenting it as the future of rich snippet markup
