gigmit gets you on the bill. GigTag goes on stage with you.
On tour, every room is new. You need the people in it to follow you tonight, because tomorrow you are in another city. GigTag gives them one code on your mic stand that opens your music, your socials and the dates still to come. If gigmit is how you were planning to find the shows, this is what you carry to them.
- No app for your audience
- Free to start
- One code that never changes
Why GigTag
Why touring acts add GigTag to gigmit
gigmit is built for getting onto the bill: applications, fan data, contacts. GigTag is built for the time on stage and the hour after. One permanent code works in every country, opens in a browser, and gives a new audience your links, your remaining dates and a way to enquire.
- 1
One tag for the whole tour
The code printed on your tag never changes. Hang it on the mic stand in Hamburg, Zurich and Zagreb and it opens the same page, with the latest dates on it. gigmit helps you line the shows up. GigTag is the one piece of promotion that travels in the cable bag.
- 2
Fans keep the remaining dates
Your page lists every gig still to come, and anyone who scans can add a date to their calendar. A listener in one city can turn up in the next. gigmit gives you data about where your fans are. GigTag gives those fans the rest of the tour.
- 3
Nothing to install, any country
The audience needs a phone camera and a browser, nothing else: no app, no account. That holds wherever you play. Everything, tips included, works in every country. Booking tools do their work before the show. This works at the front of the club.
- 4
Promoters enquire on the spot
A promoter or venue booker who sees your set can scan the tag and send a booking enquiry from your page. It reaches you in the GigTag app, on the free plan, and GigTag takes no commission. Applications go out through gigmit. Enquiries come in through the tag.
- 5
Band and solo project together
Plenty of touring musicians run a band and a solo project. On Pro, one GigTag account holds more than one act, and band members can join the band. One act is included on the free plan. gigmit presents each project to promoters. GigTag keeps them together for you.
In short
gigmit and GigTag, in four lines
- gigmit is a booking tool where artists and DJs apply for gigs posted by promoters, clubs and festivals.
- GigTag works on the night: one permanent code serves every stage of the tour, in every country.
- The audience needs no app, and can follow you and save the remaining dates in one scan.

gigmit or GigTag
Where GigTag is different from gigmit
Applying for the slot, playing the slot
gigmit is used at a laptop, weeks ahead, when you are choosing which festivals and clubs to apply for. GigTag is used on the night, by the audience. The tag hangs on your mic stand. Someone near the front scans it during the changeover and your page opens in their browser, with your socials, music links and remaining tour dates. No app or account is needed, in any country.
Tour dates people can keep
On tour, the same person might catch you in Cologne and want to come to Berlin. Your GigTag page lists every gig, and a fan can add a date to their phone calendar there and then. gigmit gives you data on where your fans are. GigTag gives those fans, one room at a time, a direct way to follow the rest of the run.
Promoters in the crowd
Promoters go to shows. If one likes your set, the tag on your stand gives them a quick route: scan, open the booking enquiry form, send. It reaches you in the GigTag app or on the website, and GigTag takes no commission. That does not replace applying for gigs. It means the nights you play can start conversations of their own, alongside the applications you send.
A night with GigTag
Night three of a European club tour
Night three of the run, a basement club in a German city you have never played. The promoter found you through an application. The changeover is nearly done and your tag is on the mic stand, the same one that was there in the last two cities. During the first song, phones come up near the front. The page opens in each browser, with no app to download and no account to create. You are on Pro, and a request for the opening track of your album arrives in the live queue on the phone by the monitor.
On the page they find your music links, your socials and the dates still to come. Some of them add the show in the next city to their calendars: it is only an hour away by train. After the set, the venue's booker scans the tag and sends an enquiry about a return date in the spring. It is waiting in the GigTag app when the gear is loaded. Tomorrow you will hang the same tag in another country, and nothing about it needs to change.
About gigmit
What is gigmit?
gigmit is a booking tool for live music that brings artists and promoters together in one place. Promoters post gigs: club concerts, festivals, contests and parties, in Germany, the UK, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Croatia and further afield. Artists, both live acts and DJs, set up a profile and apply. Its site calls the approach data-supported, because decisions can draw on local fan and streaming data.
You create an artist page, which works as your electronic press kit, and send applications to gigs that match your genre. Its site says a better profile and more applications make a booking more likely. gigmit also describes analytics on your local fan base, a database of venue and festival contacts so you can start a conversation with the right person, and a concert calendar on your artist page.

How gigmit works
- 1
Set up your artist page. You register as an artist and describe your project, live act or DJ set. The artist page doubles as your electronic press kit for promoters.
- 2
Browse the gigs. Gigs are listed by city and by genre, from club concerts to festivals and contests, each with its own details and some with a closing date for applications.
- 3
Send applications. You apply to the gigs that fit your music. Its site advises that a better profile and more applications raise your chances of being booked by a promoter.
- 4
Use the data and contacts. Analytics show your local fan base, and the venue and festival database lets you pick a place in a given area and contact the right person.
Who gigmit is for
Newcomers after first gigs. Its site has a section on how beginners get gigs. The answer it gives is simple: set up a profile for your live act or DJ set and start applying, with access to a network of promoters that it describes as removing gatekeepers.
Touring bands and DJs. Listings come from several countries, with gigs by city for places such as Berlin, London, Hamburg and Cologne. An act planning a run can look for shows by place and genre and use the venue database for the dates in between.
Promoters looking for acts. There is a separate entrance for promoters, who post gigs and find artists. Its site talks about discovering rising talent and using data to make booking decisions, so the tool works in both directions, for both sides of a show.
The verdict
GigTag or gigmit: which should you choose?
The bottom line
If you tour, take a GigTag. The strongest reason is permanence: one printed code serves every stage in every country and always opens your current page, so each new audience can follow you and keep the remaining dates. GigTag will not find you shows. For applying to clubs and festivals and understanding where your fans are, gigmit is still the tool, and a touring act does well with both.
They suit each other. Use gigmit to find and apply for shows, and to learn where your listeners are. Take GigTag to every show you get. One code covers the whole tour because it never changes, and if the project is renamed later, the old links still work. GigTag will not find you gigs, so the applications still matter.
- Step 1
Apply through gigmit
Build your gigmit artist page and apply for the club and festival dates that suit your route. Use its fan data to choose the cities.
- Step 2
Load the tour into GigTag
When dates are confirmed, add them all to your GigTag page in one sitting, and check the tag is packed with the cables before you leave.
- Step 3
Same tag, every stage
Put the tag on the mic stand at each show. The code never changes, so the audience in every city reaches the same up to date page.
Choose GigTag if
You want the audience at every stop to follow you, save your next date and reach you from one permanent code.

Is GigTag better than gigmit for a touring band?
At the shows, yes: GigTag is built for the audience, with your links, remaining dates, a booking form and, on Pro, song requests, from one code that works in every country. For finding and applying to shows, gigmit is built for that and GigTag does not do it. A touring band gets the most from applying with one and playing with the other.
What does GigTag add once gigmit has got me the gig?
Everything that happens in the room. The audience scans the tag on your mic stand with a phone camera, and your page opens in the browser. They follow your socials, open your music links and add your next date to their calendar. A booker in the crowd can enquire directly. The free plan covers it, and the code never changes.
What is gigmit?
gigmit is an online booking tool for live music. Promoters, clubs and festivals post gigs, and artists and DJs apply with an artist page that works as a press kit. Its site describes fan and streaming analytics and a database of venue and festival contacts. Most of its listings are in Europe. See its site for prices.
Does GigTag find gigs like gigmit?
No. GigTag is not a marketplace and does not find gigs for you. It gives your act a permanent QR code on a custom tag for the mic stand. The audience scans it to see your links and next gig, request songs or send a booking enquiry. Use it alongside a booking tool.
Does GigTag work across Europe, where gigmit lists gigs?
Yes. Your page, gigs, links, song requests, booking enquiries and invoices work in every country, and the audience only needs a phone browser. Outside the UK and the UAE, Pro is $15.99 a month, and you print your own tag for free: printed tags ship to the UAE and the UK only for now. Tips work across Europe too, into your own Stripe account, with 0% taken by GigTag.
Can a band on gigmit have several members manage one GigTag?
Yes. Band members can join a band on GigTag, and the act is managed from the website or the GigTag phone app. On Pro, one account can also hold more than one act, which helps if you run a band and a solo project. The free plan covers one act.
How do beginners get gigs on gigmit?
Its site answers this directly. You set up a profile describing your musical project, whether a live act or a DJ set, and start applying for gigs. It says the better the profile and the more applications you send, the more likely you are to be booked, and describes access to a network of promoters.
Does gigmit list festivals as well as club shows?
Yes. The listings on its site include festivals, club concerts, contests and parties, sorted by city and by genre, and it also describes a database of festival and venue contacts. Countries on show include Germany, the UK, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and Croatia. Check its site for what is open to applications now.
What should a touring band put on its mic stand?
One code that covers the whole tour. A GigTag opens a page with your socials, music links, every remaining date and a booking enquiry form, and it works in any country from a phone browser. Because the code is permanent, you print the tag once and use it at every show.
Does a band's QR code still work after a name change?
With GigTag, yes. The printed code never changes, and if you rename the act the old links still work. Tags you have already printed, and photos people took of the code at earlier gigs, keep leading to your current page. You do not need to print a new one.
