For venues · Live music venue software
Fill your calendar with bands that fit your room.
Hedliner is booking software for live music venues. Post the dates you need filled, let bands apply, send offers to the ones you want, and keep every show, lineup and contract in one calendar that also feeds your website.
Post open dates, get applications
Put up the nights you need to fill, with set times, the deal and the capacity on offer. Bands and their booking agents apply with their profile, music, stage plot and past shows attached, and you accept, decline or reply from one list.
Send offers to the bands you want
Browse bands by genre, city and attributes like francophone or emerging artist, then send an offer tied to one of your open dates. The band gets an email and answers from their dashboard.
Contracts both sides sign
Draft from your own templates, send, and sign in Hedliner. Once both sides have signed, the contract is locked and downloadable as a PDF.
Multi-stage nights without double-booking
Add your stages, build lineups that span them, and get a warning when two shows overlap on the same stage.
Announce when you're ready
Hold a show back from every public page until the release time you set, so a band's radius clause or a surprise lineup stays under wraps.
Your calendar on your website
Announced shows appear on your public venue page and Hedliner's show listings, and the Public Events API lets your website pull the same calendar with a venue API key.
Let your booking agent in, on your terms
Give an agent exactly the access you choose, from bookings only to full management. Changes are logged, and you can adjust or revoke access any time.
Know what each night cost
Record each show's cost and revenue and see the month and the year at a glance, next to your booking history.
Questions
Who is Hedliner for?
Independent venues, bars and festivals that book live music, from a small pub stage to a multi-stage festival, and the booking agents who work with them.
How do bands apply to play my venue?
They find your open dates on Hedliner and apply with their profile attached. You review everything in one place and answer each application; the band hears back by email.
Does Hedliner sell tickets?
No. Link your existing ticketing page to each show. Hedliner shows the price and sends people to your ticket link.
Can I keep a show private until it's announced?
Yes. Put it under an announcement hold and it stays off your venue page, the show listings and search until the release time you set.
Can my booking agent manage my calendar?
Yes, if you give them permission to manage slots. You choose what they can do and can change it at any time.
Your next season starts with one open date.
Hedliner is also for bands and booking agents.
