Definition

What is band management software?

Band management software keeps gigs, venues, lineups, setlists, documents, logistics and payments in one shared workspace. It helps bands, entertainment agencies, promoters and live-entertainment companies replace disconnected chats, spreadsheets, calendars and folders with a structured operational workflow.

Entertainment agencies

BandCalendar helps entertainment agencies, live-entertainment companies and organizations coordinating many performers manage numerous lineups and projects, clients, events, documents and finances through a multi-user team with granular permissions.

Event calendar

An operational calendar for musicians and bands that connects sales pipeline, clients, gigs, rehearsals, tasks, reminders, lineups, documents, Excel export and personal Google Calendar and Apple Calendar/iCloud sync.

Setlists and repertoires

Organize repertoires, song catalog, keys, notes, total duration, event setlists, song requests from the audience or client, exports and public shares in a workflow connected to events.

Collaborators and lineups

Manage the band's real lineup: core musicians, substitutes, extra collaborators, roles, instruments, lineups, projects, linked events, payments, documents and different team permissions.

Fees and Finances

Track event money on two clear layers: client collections and customer refunds (commercial documents and the Finances tab), and collaborator fees with advances, line items, withholding and expense reimbursements. Summaries by period, event or musician.

Documents and media

Organize PDFs, riders, contracts, quotes, images, audio, video, versions and public links in a cloud archive connected to clients, events, collaborators, lineups and projects, with contextual upload dialogs, PWA offline and controlled collaborator visibility on the event.

Quotes and contracts

Create professional quotes and contracts for music services from separate content and layout templates, with rich text editing, preview-consistent PDFs, services and expense reimbursements, online quote acceptance, public links and click-to-accept simple electronic signature without a client account.

Vehicles and equipment

Keep the inventory of PA systems, lights, instruments, vans and cars in one place. Assign vehicles and equipment to events, create preset sets for recurring configurations and always know what to bring, who drives and what's where.
