GigTag for festival and market performers
Thirty minutes on a stage, then the crowd moves on to the next one.
Festival and market slots are short, and the audience has a dozen other things to see. A GigTag is the quickest way to turn a passing crowd into people who follow you and know where you play next.
- Follow you in one scan
- Tips by card
- Your next date on the page
The problem
A big crowd you will never see again
At a festival, the people in front of you are the biggest audience you will have all year, and by the time you come off they have gone to a food stall.
You cannot sell to them from the stage. You can leave a small, easy way to find you, and let them take it.
What GigTag does
One code, four jobs done for you
- Free
One scan from the stage
A banner or sign with the code means someone in the crowd can find your music, your socials and your next gig in seconds.
- Pro
Tips without cash
Many festival-goers carry only a phone. A tip by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay is easier than a bucket.
- Free
Your whole season, listed
Add each festival as a gig. A fan who liked you in June can see you in August.
- Free
Enquiries from organisers
Other organisers walk the site too, and the dancers, fire acts and variety acts on the bill do the same. The booking form is how they get in touch.
A night with GigTag
A Saturday on the side stage
You print the code on a banner and tie it to the front of the stage. Between songs you point at it once. That afternoon a hundred people scan it and thirty follow you.
A week later a market organiser who watched your set sends the enquiry form for their winter series.

Questions
GigTag for festival and market performers: your questions
Will it work with a poor signal?
Fans need a signal to open the page, and a crowded site can be slow for everyone. Print the code large so people can scan it from near the front, where reception is best.
Can I use the same code at every festival?
Yes. The code never changes, and the page shows your next date.
Do I need Pro?
No. A page, your links and your dates are free. Pro adds tips and requests.
Can the organiser see my page?
Yes, anyone with the link. Send it with your application.
