I am a phpBB user and would like to migrate to another forum software; but I'm wanting to make sure it can handle the options that I'm looking for.

These are the things that I need:

I am creating a site for a music community and it will have normal users that register with no special needs; but I would like to have the ability for some users (Artists) to have the option to request an 'Artist' account that gives them the ability to enter their show dates, website information and other news about their music. Then, I would like this information to be accessible by all other users; i.e.; Having an 'Artists' tab at the top of the forum that will list all of the registered artists, then users can click on each artist to find out more about them, have a link to their website, a link to a streaming audio track, a band photo, news, event dates, etc.

I would also like a similar section for 'Venues' so that venues can be put into the system so their information is easily accessible (address; directions, etc.)

I would then like to have a calendar of the events that are entered by the artists so that on the main page of the site, it can have a week worth of events in a list format; i.e.:
DATE - ARTIST - VENUE

Can vBulletin do this?
If so, is there a sample site I can see with it in place?
If a mod is needed to give these options, which mod or how would I find it?
If vBulletin CAN'T do it, are there any suggestions as to others that can?

I'm sure that with some mods and plug-ins that this stuff can be done, but specifics are what I'm looking for.

Thanks for your time.
