Seamless Gig Booking
Explore our dynamic, ever-growing catalogue of verified artists, continuously updated with the hottest talent and rising stars.

Effortlessly post multiple gigs using time-saving templates, and enjoy peace of mind with our round the clock customer support, who are always ready to assist you.
Simplified Calendar Management
With the GigPig platform, you can effortlessly manage your gig bookings by overseeing one or multiple venues from a centralised hub. Stay on top of everything with real-time gig updates, ensuring your team is always in the loop. Plus, our lightning-fast filters provide instant visibility, giving you a clear and immediate overview of all gigs at a glance.
Effective Marketing for Pubs & Bars
With the GigPig platform you can easily keep your "What's On" section up to date by sharing gigs across your website through our seamless API integration. This improves footfall in your venue, increases dwell time, and empowers your decisions with data-driven insights to identify new opportunities for boosting sales through live music.
Two payment options to meet your needs
We offer two flexible payment options to streamline your financial processes.
The first option, Automated Accounting, provides instant artist invoices upon gig sign-off, all HMRC-compliant and ready for batch downloading. You can easily adjust fees before finalising gigs and download a payment CSV for quick uploads to your payment software.
The second option, One-stop Payment House, simplifies payments even further by letting you pay a single GigPig invoice, which we then split and distribute to all your artists. With smart invoicing, you'll never need to set up individual artists as suppliers again, and you'll avoid late invoices with automatic generation and submission for signed-off gigs.
Both options allow bar and pub managers to adjust fees before finalising to ensure an error-free process.
Bars and pub managers benefit from using the GigPig platform by gaining a powerful tool that simplifies the complexities of managing live music events.
Our platform provides real-time visibility into your gig bookings, making it easy to track and update your venues performance schedules.
The GigPig platform also offers automated accounting features, ensuring that payments are HMRC compliant and invoices are handled efficiently.
With the ability to drive customer engagement through an integrated "What's On" section, bar and pub managers can increase bookings and table reservations, ultimately boosting your venue’s revenue.
GigPig’s intuitive interface and easy to use features allow venue managers to focus more on enhancing the customer experience and less on the day to day administrative tasks that currently come with booking and managing live music performances manually.
