The marketplace for live entertainment

Great nights start with great acts.

Restaurants, hotels and bars book live acts here - singers, bands, DJs, magicians - seeing who is free on the night and what they charge before sending a message. Artists and their agents list once, and get found.

If you run a venue

Find someone for the night you actually have

Search by date, city and what kind of act you want. Every profile shows a live calendar and a published rate, so you know who is free and what it costs before you speak to anyone.

If you perform, or represent someone who does

Be found by the rooms that book you

One profile carries your reel, your rates and your calendar. Venues come to you with a date already in mind, nothing is ever booked without you saying yes, and no commission comes out of your fee.

How it works

Two sides, one calendar

Artists publish what they charge and when they are free. Venues see both before they send a word. The booking is agreed in between.

For artists

Get booked without the back-and-forth

Singers, bands, magicians, DJs, instrumentalists - solo or with an agent.

  1. Build the profile onceReel, photos, bio, awards, references. One video is the minimum to go live - nobody books what they cannot watch.
  2. Publish your ratesAn hourly rate per day and time of day, your minimum hours, special dates like New Year’s Eve, and a monthly package if you take residencies.
  3. Keep your calendar honestBlock what you cannot play - a single night, a run, or every Monday. A confirmed booking blocks itself, so a date is never promised twice.
  4. Answer on your termsAccept, counter or decline. Nothing is ever booked without you saying yes, and the negotiation stays in one thread.
  5. Keep your feeBook the Act runs on a subscription from artists. No commission is taken out of what a venue pays you.
For venues

Know the date and the price up front

Restaurants, hotels, bars and event teams.

  1. Search for the night you actually haveA one-off and a residency are different searches. A single date shows only acts who can reach you and are free; a residency also reaches acts elsewhere who will relocate.
  2. See the price before you speak to anyoneRates are published in advance and resolved for your date - including special-date pricing - so cost is never a conversation you have to start.
  3. Check availability, not inboxesEvery profile shows a live calendar. Green is free, red is taken. No waiting two days to find out.
  4. Shortlist and compareGroup the acts you are weighing for the same night into a named collection, so three rooftop singers stay together instead of scattering through your favourites.
  5. Send one inquiry, settle it on-platformThe rate pre-fills and stays editable as an offer. Agree terms in the thread, confirm, and leave a verified review once the gig is done.

Prices are shown in US dollar, converted at rates from 2026-09-01 (built in) and rounded. Each act is paid in the currency it lists, which is what a booking is agreed in.
