Example band profile in the Setlist app.
A profile you'll actually be proud of
Your Setlist profile is your live CV. Clips, photos, the venues you've played, what people said about you. It's yours to build, and venues looking to book are already looking at it.
Show what you're like live. Videos, set lists, photos and reviews from real gigs.
Wear your gig history. Every show you play through Setlist adds to your profile, so your reputation builds itself.
Get followed. Fans and venues can follow you and see where you're playing next.
Confirm as a band, in one tap. Every member confirms the date in the app. No more losing gigs to a slow group chat.
Keep every penny. It's free for performers and we never take a cut of your fee.
One app. Venues and acts, together.
Venues and performers use the same Setlist app on iPhone and Android. You're looking at the same calendar and the same conversation, so nothing gets lost between you.

Questions
Does Setlist take a cut of the gig fee?
No, never. What you agree with the act is what they get.
How much does it cost?
Venues pay a small monthly subscription after a free trial at launch. There's no cut of the gig and no per-gig fees. Acts are free, with optional promo tools if they want extra visibility.
Do my regular bands have to sign up?
They'll want to: it's free for them, and they get a profile that helps them land more gigs. You can invite them straight from the app.
Is it just for bands?
No. Bands, solo musicians, DJs, comedians, magicians, quiz hosts, murder mystery troupes: if you perform in pubs, it's for you.
Is it an app or a website?
It's one app on iPhone and Android, used by both venues and performers.
How do we pay the act?
The same way you do now: cash, bank transfer or invoice. Setlist handles the booking, not the money.
I'm not in Plymouth. Can I join?
We're starting in Plymouth so the local scene is properly busy from day one. Leave your details and we'll tell you when we reach your town.
I already use GigPig or an agency. Do I have to leave?
No. Run a few nights through Setlist alongside what you do now and see how it feels.
