I manage a small music label and that was a glaring omission for me too. That part of the industry is brutal for newcomers, which has some serious paradox business problems.
Maybe if you're funded enough, you can just pay a booking agency.. but for a big group of unknown talent, I just don't see it working.
Touring is the single biggest PR problem for my artists, the technical services are easy in comparison.

- adrianwaj 14y agoInteresting. Bopgig has the facility for one user (such as yourself) to manage multiple artists on the site. There's a feature release on its way (public stats and demographics) to allow booking agencies and venues to come in and find artists and approach artists that interest them, but now that I think about it, tour creation should ideally be automated or semi-automated, probably the same way airline and truck routing is - but it'll take time to reach that point.
- r0s 14y agoIt's an intriguing problem for sure. If I wasn't so busy with everything else I'd work on booking full time. I've considered branching off a new company just to focus on that.
- adrianwaj 14y agoI am in the process of writing a how-to doc, and releasing a couple of features that should make research and booking using BG fairly straightforward and effective - let me reach out in a few weeks. You'd have to have your artists ask fans to signup (to make the most of it), thus I'm shaping the site up to be as compelling as possible so that can happen. It'll hopefully give you an edge.
- r0s 14y agoGreat, I can't wait!
