Gigs - Book. Promote. Perform. Gigs connects artists, venues, and fans to streamline the entire lifecycle of live events. The industry is fragmented: Booking happens in one place, promotion in another, and ticketing somewhere else. Gigs streamlines it all so every show is easy, whether you’re booking and promoting a show or looking for upcoming shows.. Why Gigs Every show runs on four essentials: who, what, when, and where - which are decided the moment a gig is booked. By owning that moment, Gigs becomes the primary source of info so the app can publish accurate event pages instantly, promote them across audiences, and (where available) serve as a ticketing platform, all without duplicate work. For Artists Discover and request open gig slots that match your genre, availability, and setup needs. Showcase your work with a profile that highlights media, formats, and requirements. Once booked, your event page is generated automatically—ready to share with fans and partners. Spend less time chasing logistics and more time performing. For Venues Create gig slots with dates, times, and performance details; review and approve requests in one convenient place. Keep your calendar full and consistent with confirmed gigs that automatically get published with all the right info. Promote every booking instantly without re-entering details across multiple tools. For Fans Follow artists and venues, explore nearby events, and never miss a show. Get reliable details straight from the source and share them with friends in a single tap. Key features All-In-One booking + promotion: event pages auto-generated from approved gigs. Artist & venue profiles with media, formats, and technical needs. Easy-to-find gig opportunities organized by date and location. Smart calendar management for venues and artists to keep fans up-to-date with ease. Shareable event pages designed to maximize social reach. Notifications for requests, confirmations, and upcoming shows. Multi-role support: artists, venues, fans/organizers. What makes Gigs different? Built on the idea that booking and promoting live performances shouldn’t require 20 different apps. When you connect Artists, Venues and Fans on one app, you can streamline everything! Reduces errors and duplicate effort by publishing from a single, authoritative source. Designed for all creative categories: music, comedy, acting, dance, visual arts, design, and more. Getting started Create an Artist profile or verify your Venue profile. Artists: request open slots and confirm. Venues: post slots and approve. Let Gigs auto-publish the event page and promote it across your audience. Privacy & Security Sign in securely; control what you share on your profile and event pages. Data is used to operate features like discovery, notifications, and performance insights. Technical notes Requires an internet connection. Some features and integrations may vary by region and version. Support & Feedback Questions, ideas, or partnership inquiries?
