Gigvault for Artists: Track Your Shows, Own Your Legacy

Founder of Gigvault — the concert tracker for live music fans.
Beyond the Stage — Your Live Music Story Deserves to Be Told
As an artist, every show you play is a milestone, a memory, a step in your journey. But how do you actually keep track of it all? The venues, the cities, the setlists, the energy of the crowd — it's a whirlwind. While streaming numbers tell one part of your story, your live music history is the true heartbeat of your career.
This is where Gigvault steps in: a platform built for artists to track their shows, own their legacy and deepen connections with their most dedicated fans.
The Artist's Dilemma: Lost Gigs, Fragmented History
Most artists struggle to maintain a real record of their live performances. Spreadsheets get outdated, social posts get buried, and the sheer volume of gigs makes it impossible to remember every detail. You've probably asked yourself:
- "How many shows have I actually played?"
- "Which cities have I performed in the most?"
- "What was the setlist for that unforgettable night in Berlin?"
Two Modes, One Account
You're a performer and a fan. Gigvault is built around that.
1. Fan Mode — Relive Your Inspirations
- Log shows you've attended as a personal concert diary
- Rate performances and add notes from the audience perspective
- Track artists and get notified when they announce new shows
- Get your annual Concert Wrapped — your year in live music
2. Artist Mode — Document Your Triumphs
Once verified, you unlock pro features built specifically for performing artists:
- Dedicated "Performed" tab on your profile, separate from your fan activity
- Comprehensive tour stats: total shows, cities, countries, years active, top venues
- Verified Artist badge signaling authenticity to fans and industry
- Artist Wrapped — a year-on-stage summary perfect for fan engagement and year-end posts
- Effortless logging with your band pre-selected
- Followers' feed: when you log a show, your followers see it

Why Gigvault Is the Best Platform for Artists
Unlike generic social media or fragmented databases, Gigvault gives you:
- Centralized & organized — all your live data in one place
- Direct fan engagement — connect with the people who were actually there
- Professional presentation — verified profile, dedicated performance history
- Data-driven insights — touring stats that inform booking, promo and grants
- Privacy by design — keep fan activity and artist activity cleanly separated
Why Gigvault Artist Accounts beat generic social media
If you're an artist currently using Instagram, Spotify for Artists, or a personal spreadsheet to track your shows, here's what you're missing:
Show-level fan engagement. When you log a show, every fan who marked themselves as attending sees it on their feed. Direct conversation with the people who were actually in the room — not vague follower stats. Learn more about the social hub.
Verified tour stats for booking conversations. "We've played 47 venues across 12 cities in the last 18 months" lands better with promoters than vague Instagram metrics. Your verified Artist profile shows the receipts.
Setlist evidence. Every show you log includes the setlist — proving you've performed those songs live (matters for licensing, BMI/ASCAP reporting, and tour packaging conversations).
Free forever for artists. Artist verification, dedicated performance tab, verified badge, tour stats, fan engagement — all free on Gigvault. No subscription required. We monetize via fan Pro subscriptions, not artist paywalls.
Cross-band tracking. Side projects, guest appearances, fill-ins — log them all. Your live music identity isn't one band, it's everywhere you've played.
