Are you a passionate music fan looking for experiences and merchandise you can’t get anywhere else? Fancards is the free app designed for true fans to collect ultra-rare items and enjoy exclusive experiences — all available only on our app. Launch Artist: Metallica We’re starting with one of the greatest rock bands of all time — Metallica! Access limited-edition merch, secret items, and experiences that don’t exist anywhere else. And this is just the beginning: more amazing artists will be joining soon, making Fancards App the ultimate destination for music fans worldwide. Exclusive Features of Fancards App Rooms: Explore dedicated Rooms for each artist, where ultra-rare items and experiences are unlocked. They’re open and close for a limited time, creating a unique opportunity to grab exclusive content before it disappears. Secret Items: Collect limited-edition, super rare items that cannot be found on the open market. Free Drops: Grab special free items that give all fans a chance to access exclusive content. Fan Levels: Show your dedication and stand out from other fans. Rise through the levels and become the ultimate fan of your favorite artists. Rooms Are Limited Fancards Rooms are available for a set period only. This means you must act fast to claim your Secret Items or participate in exclusive experiences. Once a Room closes, its content disappears — making every item and experience truly rare and highly sought after. This dynamic system ensures that your fan journey is always exciting and unpredictable. Earn Points with Every Action Every action you take in Fancards — whether it’s a Free Drop or a paid Secret Item purchase — earns you points. These points are an important part of your fan journey and will give you access to exclusive rewards that we will unveil in 2026. The more active you are, the more rewards you’ll unlock — giving fans another way to stand out and enhance their experience. Four Ways to Access Fancards App There are four ways to enter the app and start your fan journey: Scan the QR Code on the back of a Fancard at the Metallica M72 tour venues in Australia and New Zealand 2025. Scan the QR Code on the label of any Metallica merch starting from the tour. Invite a friend to download the app. In the first three cases, you start with points immediately, boosting your fan level right away. Downloading directly from the store gives you access to the app, but no starting points. Why Fans Love Fancards App Fancards isn’t just another fan app — it’s a community for true collectors. Whether you love rock, pop, indie, or hip-hop, you’ll find ways to collect ultra-rare items, access experiences that exist nowhere else, and show your fan dedication.

Gigvault is the concert tracker for live music obsessives. Log every concert you've ever been to, track every setlist, and build a complete history of your gigs. It's the only concert tracker that gives you a Concert Wrapped after every single show — your stats, your top artists, your cities, your AI Music Identity, all in one shareable card. YOUR CONCERT DIARY Gigvault is a concert diary that fills itself in: a running concert list that grows with every night out, with the setlist attached to every show. Backfill the gigs you went to years ago or start with tonight — your concert diary stays searchable and stays yours. TRACK EVERY GIG Add a concert in seconds: artist, venue, city, date. Rate it, write down what you remember, tag the friends who were there. Your gig history stays searchable and sortable, from last night back to your very first show. FASTER START New here? Sign up, tap the plus, type the band. Venue, lineup and setlist are filled in for you, and your first Wrapped is ready in about a minute. Logging a concert now takes one screen. EVERY SETLIST, EVERY BAND See what was actually played. Gigvault brings up the setlist for the night you were there, song by song, so you can settle the argument about whether they really opened with that one. SETLIST TRACKING (PRO, BETA) Every song you've heard live, counted. Gigvault adds up the songs across all your setlists and shows your most-heard track, the songs you caught live for the first time this year and each band's anthems — the ones they played at nearly every show you saw. Backfill old gigs and the numbers fill in. CONCERT WRAPPED After every show you get a Wrapped: concerts counted, hours of live music, top artists, venues and cities, plus your AI Music Identity. Share it as an image or keep it to yourself. FREE, WITH NO LOGGING LIMIT Logging your concerts costs nothing. No ads, no credit card, no cap. On Gigvault your tenth, hundredth and thousandth concert are free. The free plan includes two photos per show; unlimited photos and video come with Pro. EVERY GENRE Rock, pop, metal, techno, hip-hop, jazz, classical, indie, punk, country, EDM — Gigvault works for every genre. Club show, arena night, open air or opera: if you were there, it goes in your concert diary. PHOTOS, FESTIVALS & HISTORY Attach photos and videos to each concert: ticket stubs, wristbands and the blurry front-row shot stay filed with the show they belong to. Log a festival as a single entry with every set inside it, and add your past concerts in bulk. COMMUNITY & GLOBAL DATABASE Follow other concert-goers and find out who else was at the same show. Artists, venues, cities and festivals worldwide, each with its own page. GIGVAULT PRO & PHOTOGRAPHER PRO Unlimited photo and video uploads, AI Music Identity, shared concert groups and advanced stats. For people who shoot shows: high-resolution uploads.
