Built for live music
Everything your show needs
GigQ is purpose-built for gigging musicians — not a general event tool bolted onto something else. Every feature is designed around what actually happens on stage.
Real-Time Song Requests
Audience members submit song requests from their phones. Requests appear on your dashboard the moment they come in — no polling, no refreshing.
Audience Voting
Every audience member gets a vote. Songs and requests are ranked live by vote count, so you always know what the room wants to hear next.
Venmo Tip Integration
Audience members can boost any song by sending a Venmo tip directly to you. Boosted songs sort above everything else — tips are instant and go straight to your pocket.
Room Codes & QR
Every show gets a unique QR code and short room code. Audiences scan once and join — no app download, no account, no friction. Works on any smartphone.
Artist Profiles
Your public profile at app.gigq.net/yourname includes your bio, photo, stage name, Venmo handle, and links to all your socials. Share it anywhere.
Setlist Builder
Build a reusable song library and assemble setlists for each show. Drag songs into order before you go on, and adjust on the fly as the night changes.
Mark as Played
Tap a song to mark it as played. It moves to a "Already Played" section so the crowd can see what they've heard and what's still up for grabs.
Cookie-Based Audience Identity
Audience members enter just their first name to join. No account, no email, no password. Their session persists across the show — one vote per song, per person.
Built on solid tech
Real-time, not polling
GigQ uses WebSocket-based live updates (Turbo Streams) so every vote, request, and boost appears instantly — on both the audience's phone and your dashboard. No five-second delay. No page refresh.
