J.SHOW is the app for your J.SHOW platform. It puts everything you need on tour on your phone – and shows it even when there is no signal. You need access to a J.SHOW artist or agency platform. Without an account you cannot sign in here. What you get • Every event at a glance – upcoming, past, sorted by date or shown on the map • The single event with everything that belongs to it: venue, contacts, times, notes • The day sheet with running order, soundcheck and show • Travel, hotels and vehicles including addresses and booking references • Guest list – view it, add people, check them in at the door • Setlist and song pool • Every file for the event – rider, contracts, day sheets, venue plans – readable in the app and easy to pass on • Messages and mentions from your team • Push notifications when something about your event changes Works without a signal Backstage, on the bus, abroad: the app keeps your data on the phone. Open it and everything is there straight away – no waiting, no progress bar, no question of whether you are online. As soon as there is a connection again it fetches the new state in the background and swaps it in without interrupting you. Several platforms at once If you work for more than one artist, sign in to up to three accounts at the same time and see all their dates side by side. Switching takes one tap. Who it is for Artists, tour management, crew, booking and agencies – everyone on a J.SHOW platform. Who sees which events and which figures is decided by roles on the platform; the app shows exactly what you have been given access to. What J.SHOW is beyond this The platform itself brings tour planning, contracts, invoices, settlement, guest lists, travel and availabilities together in one place. The app is the part that travels with you. More at j.show
