IS YOUR CITY’S LIVE MUSIC SCENE 100% VISIBLE AND EASY TO FIND?

Most destination websites show a fraction of what's actually happening - Festivals & Ticketed events. The rest is invisible to visitors.

80% of live music events are not ticketed, invisible online

Most platforms only index ticketed events — missing the bar guitarist, the restaurant jazz brunch, the brewery acoustic session.


Venues promote on social media, not event platforms

Facebook posts, Instagram stories, and venue websites are scattered and hard to find - impossible to aggregate manually.


DMO & city calendars are incomplete

Manually curated listings can't keep up. Missed events are missed opportunities.

About GigsHQ

LIVE MUSIC IS EVERYWHERE

WE MAKE SURE EVERYONE FINDS IT.

GigsHQ is North America's most complete live music database - built to solve a problem that has existed for decades:
the music is happening, but most of it goes undiscovered.


WHY WE BUILT THIS

Every night, thousands of live music events take place in bars, restaurants, patios, breweries, and community spaces across North America. Most of them are not ticketed. Most of them never appear in search results. They're announced on Facebook pages, Instagram posts, or on websites of unknown venues that nobody visits.

Visitors arrive in a city and ask: "What's on tonight?" Their DMO's website shows major happenings and ticketed events. GigsHQ shows the whole live music scene. The difference is not the music, it's the infrastructure behind the discovery.

GigsHQ was built to close that gap. We monitor multiple sources - venue websites, Facebook, Instagram, local event calendars, and more, and aggregate them into a single, clean, continuously updated database. The result is the most complete picture of live music in any city we cover.


WHAT MAKES GIGSHQ DIFFERENT

Three things no other platform delivers together.

95%+

COVERAGE PER REGION

We capture ticketed and non-ticketed events alike. The patio guitarist, the jazz brunch, the brewery acoustic session - the 80% of live music that every other platform misses. That's our core differentiator.

Multiple

SOURCES MONITORED

Our data engine monitors multiple sources per city - social media, venue websites, ticketing platforms, and local calendars - updated continuously so the database is always current.

80%

NON-TICKETED EVENTS

Ticketed events are the tip of the iceberg. The other 80% - non-ticketed events - never appear on any platform. GigsHQ captures all of it.

THE LIVE MUSIC IS THERE.

VISITORS JUST DON’T KNOW WHERE TO FIND IT

WE FIX THAT.

READY TO TALK?

Whether you're a destination organization, an artist or a venue owner - we'd love to hear from you.
