Gig booking platform… for artists
Here’s what you can expect once you register with GigPig — your free gig booking platform — as a live music artist in Newcastle:
- Get noticed: You can create multiple profiles on our gig booking app to maximise your bookings — all under one login. Perfect for solo artists or band members who’d like to showcase their unique style and skills.
Upload your headshots, demos, and performance photos to show off your gig style, formats, and genres. If you perform in other places as well as Newcastle, it’s easy to change your location settings, opening gates to nationwide gig offers. There is also a feature on our app where you can request a particular venue.
- Automatic invoicing: We know that admin can be a bottom-of-the-list job, so we like to make things as easy for our Newcastle musicians.
We’ll automatically invoice the venue for you once you’ve completed a gig, with all of the money going directly to your chosen bank account. No more digging around for invoices, either, because you’ll be able to find them all in one place.
- Calendar management: We’re no strangers to crumpled diary notes and countless phone reminders, but this can be tricky to keep on top of — especially when you’re booking gigs in Newcastle left, right, and centre.
Our gig calendar will give live updates whenever your booking is signed off for a clear schedule overview.
