How booking works

Post a night and choose from the acts who offer, or ask an act you like directly. Every act is checked before they can be booked. You pay when the booking is confirmed, we hold the money until the night has gone ahead, then the act is paid. If an act drops out, we find you a replacement.

Joining is free. Venues pay a booking fee of 15% on top of the act’s price, never more than £50.
