Gigvault: The iPhone App That Remembers Every Concert You've Ever Been To

By Alexandra P. · Published 2026-05-29 · 9 min read

Founder of Gigvault — the concert tracker for live music fans.

Free on the App Store. No ads. Just your concert history - forever. Track every show, every artist, every festival.

You've been to dozens of concerts. Maybe hundreds. But ask yourself: can you actually name every artist you've seen live? The exact setlist from your favourite show three years ago? The opening act that blew you away at that festival in 2022?

Most people can't — not because the shows weren't great, but because there was never a proper place to keep it all. Tickets get lost. Photos disappear into the camera roll. Stories fade. Gigvault is the missing layer: a free iPhone app built specifically for concert fans who want to track, remember, and celebrate every live show they've ever attended — from the first stadium gig as a teenager to last weekend's club show.

What Is Gigvault?

Gigvault is a personal concert tracker for iPhone. You log every show you attend — past and upcoming — and the app builds a living record of your entire live music history, complete with stats, photos, setlists, ratings and social features. Think of it as the Letterboxd for concerts: a space where your taste in live music is finally documented the way it deserves to be.

Every gig you add becomes part of a permanent timeline. You can attach the venue, the support acts, the setlist, your own photos and a personal rating. Over time, that timeline turns into something you can scroll back through years later — and actually remember what happened. Completely free, no ads, works offline, syncs everywhere.

Everything You Need to Track Your Concert Life

Gigvault isn't a single feature pretending to be an app — it's a complete toolkit for live music fans. Here's what you get the moment you open it for the first time:

🎟️ Concert Diary — Log every show with photos, written notes, ratings and full setlists. Your personal memory vault, gig by gig. Add concerts from decades ago or scan a ticket from tomorrow night.
📊 Concert Stats — Total shows, top artists, cities visited, favourite venues, most-seen genres, longest tour streak — your full live music identity broken down in numbers you can actually scroll through.
🎁 Concert Wrapped — A personalised year-in-review that updates after every single show, not just once in December. Watch your year rebuild itself in real time as you keep going to gigs.
🤖 Music Identity — An AI-generated portrait of your taste, built from concerts you actually attended, not streams. Real presence. Real taste. No algorithmic guesswork.
👥 Concert Buddies — Find fans who attended the exact same shows as you and connect with people who share your live music history — including friends-of-friends you never knew were in the same room.
🎪 Festival Tracking — Every band you see at Wacken, Coachella, or Rock am Ring counts as its own separate entry. One festival can add 20+ shows to your archive in a single weekend.
📸 Photo Vault — Drop in concert photos and they're automatically tied to the right show, the right venue, the right date. Searchable, scrollable, never lost in your camera roll again.
🎵 Setlist Archive — Setlists are pulled in automatically from a global database and saved to your show. Tap any track to remember the exact order the band played that night.
🗺️ Concert Map — Every venue you've ever been to, pinned on an interactive world map. Watch your live music footprint grow city by city.
🔔 Upcoming Shows — Add gigs you've bought tickets for, get reminders before doors open, and turn "I'll be there" into a permanent entry the moment the show ends.

Built for the Way Concerts Actually Happen

Most concert apps were built around tickets. Gigvault is built around memory. The difference shows up everywhere. Adding a show takes three taps — pick the artist, pick the date, confirm the venue — and Gigvault automatically pulls in the support acts, the setlist, and a hero image for the gig. You don't have to type anything you don't want to.

If you're walking out of a venue right now, you can log the show before you reach the U-Bahn. If you're remembering a gig from 2014, you can add it in 30 seconds and your stats update instantly. Past, present, future — every show lives in the same timeline.

Concert Wrapped — Your Year, Live

Concert Wrapped is the feature most fans show off first. It's a personal year-in-review built entirely from the shows you attended: your loudest era, your most-seen artist, your festival of the year, your map of every city you sang in. Unlike streaming Wrapped, it doesn't wait for December — every time you log a new show, your year regenerates instantly. Halfway through July you can already see how 2026 is shaping up.

It's beautiful to look at, designed to be shared, and tells a story no playlist ever could: not what you listened to, but where you actually went.

Music Identity — Your Taste, in Sound

Gigvault analyses your concert history and builds a Music Identity: a portrait of who you are as a live music fan. Dominant genres, the eras you keep returning to, the scenes you orbit, the moods you chase on a Friday night. It's the closest thing to a fingerprint for the kind of fan you are — and because it's built from concerts you actually attended (not background playlists), it tends to be embarrassingly accurate.

Concert Buddies — Live Music Is Social

Live music has always been social. Gigvault's Social Hub brings that back online without turning into another scroll-forever feed. You can message other users, browse their concert histories, see who's going to the same upcoming shows as you, and post "moments" from gigs you just attended.

Concert Buddies is the standout feature: the app surfaces people who were in the exact same room as you on the exact same night, even if you've never met. That gig in 2019 where you ended up next to a stranger singing every word? They might be on Gigvault. Shared live music experiences turn into real connections — something no streaming platform can replicate.

Perfect for Festival Season

At a festival like Rock am Ring, Wacken, or Primavera you might see 20+ bands across a weekend — main stage headliners, second-stage discoveries, that 2pm act on the small stage who turns out to be your favourite of the whole festival. Gigvault treats each one as its own concert entry, so your stats reflect the full reality of what you experienced, not just the headliner.

Open the festival page in the app, scroll the lineup, and tap "I'll be there" on each band you saw. Done in seconds. In five years, you'll still remember exactly which 67 bands you caught that weekend — and how many of them you discovered live before they blew up.

Photos, Setlists & the Memory Layer

Two features quietly do the heavy lifting in the background. The Photo Vault scans the concert photos you upload and automatically files them under the right show — by date, venue, and artist. No more endless scrolling through your camera roll to find that one shot from Lollapalooza. Search "Foo Fighters Berlin" and every photo from every Foo Fighters show in Berlin appears in one stream.

The Setlist Archive pulls live setlists from a global database the moment you log a show. You don't have to remember what was played — Gigvault remembers for you. Tap any song to see the exact running order, plus tour notes, surprise covers and debut songs. Pair that with your own photos and you have the most complete record of a concert anyone can keep.

Free Forever, Pro When You're Ready

Gigvault is free to use. Forever. No ads, no paywalls hiding core features, no "log 5 shows and pay to unlock the rest." Everything in the diary, stats, Wrapped, festivals, social hub, and Concert Buddies is available on the free tier.

Gigvault Pro ($2.99/month) is for power users: longer video uploads, extended Wrapped exports, deeper stats and early access to new features. There's also a Photographer Pro add-on ($4.99/month) for concert photographers who want credited photos appearing across the platform. The free tier is enough for 95% of fans — Pro is an opt-in for the obsessives.

Why Concert Fans Are Switching to Gigvault

Most existing tools treat concerts as ticket transactions. Songkick sells you the next ticket. Setlist.fm catalogs setlists but doesn't care which ones you were at. Concert Archives is a deep historical database with its own apps, built around cataloguing rather than around your year in live music. Spotify Wrapped tells you what you streamed in your bedroom — not what you screamed at a venue.

Gigvault is the only app built around the lived experience of going to live music: the show itself, the people you stood next to, the photo your friend took right before the encore, the setlist you'll want to look up in ten years. It's modern, mobile-first, beautifully designed, and made by people who go to concerts every week.

★★★★★ "Finally an app that just gets it. I've logged 80+ concerts in a weekend and the Wrapped at the end of the year is the best part — feels like Spotify Wrapped but real."

★★★★★ "Used it all weekend at the festival. Each set counts separately, which is brilliant. Already found two other people on Concert Buddies who saw the same lineup as me. Absolutely free, no ads. Just download it."

FAQ

Is Gigvault really free?

Yes — completely free with no ads. Every core feature (diary, stats, Wrapped, festivals, social hub, Concert Buddies) is available without paying. Gigvault Pro ($2.99/month) adds power-user extras like longer video uploads and deeper exports, but you never need it.

Is there an Android version?

Gigvault is available on iPhone (iOS 16+) via the App Store and on Android via Google Play. The full Gigvault experience also works on the web at gigvault.app so you can log shows, build your stats and use the social hub on any device.

Can I add concerts from years ago?

Absolutely. Most users start by back-filling their concert history — search for the artist, pick the date, confirm the venue, done. Shows from the 1990s or 2000s work exactly the same as a gig tomorrow night. Your stats and Wrapped update retroactively.

How does Concert Wrapped work?

Wrapped is rebuilt automatically every time you log a show. It tracks your loudest era, top artists, most-visited cities, festival of the year, and dozens of other angles. Unlike streaming Wrapped, you can open it any day of the year and see exactly where you stand.

Can I export my data?

Yes — your concert history belongs to you. From settings you can export your full diary as a structured file at any time. Gigvault Pro additionally offers richer export formats for power users.
