Most bands find gigs the same way: searching for venues online, guessing at booking email addresses, sending a generic pitch and following up... if they remember. There's no system, so leads fall through the cracks.
You might find a great venue but forget to follow up. Or send a pitch with the wrong details. Or lose track of who you've already contacted and email them again.
A booking pipeline from discovery to confirmed gig
The Band Planned's Get Gigs feature researches venues, events and booking resources matched to your band or act's location, genre and act type. Each opportunity becomes a tracked lead you can work through to a booking.
Instead of a spreadsheet and a sent-email folder, you get a structured pipeline with states, follow-up reminders and auto-generated pitch emails.
- 1
Discover events, venues and resources
Search by location and date range. The app returns venues, upcoming events and booking resources like directories and musician groups.
- 2
Check member availability
For dated opportunities, see which members are free before you pursue the lead.
- 3
Research booking contacts
The app researches the venue to find booking email addresses, phone numbers and contact names.
- 4
Generate and edit outreach
A personalised pitch email is drafted from your band or act's profile—edit it before sending.
- 5
Track drafts, contacted leads and follow-ups
Leads move through states: New, Draft ready, Contacted, Interested, Booked. Follow-up dates keep opportunities from going cold.
- 6
Convert opportunities into managed gigs
When a venue says yes, convert the lead into a gig on your shared calendar with one tap.
More gigs, fewer lost leads
Instead of a random list of venues you might have emailed, you have a structured pipeline. You know who you've contacted, who needs a follow-up and who's ready to book. Opportunities don't slip through the cracks.
Frequently asked questions
Are bookings guaranteed?
No. The app helps you find, research and follow up on opportunities, but the booking decision is always the venue's. The Band Planned gives you the pipeline—you do the outreach.
How does the app find venues?
It uses your band or act's location, travel radius, genre and act type to search for venues, upcoming events and booking resources. Results include contact details where available.
Can I edit the pitch email before sending?
Yes. The app drafts a personalised email from your band or act's profile. You can edit the subject and body before opening it in your email client.
Does opening an email mark the lead as contacted?
No. Opening the email in your client doesn't change the lead's state. You mark a lead as contacted after you've actually sent the email.
What happens when a venue confirms?
You can convert the lead into a gig on your shared calendar. The gig details carry over and the lead is marked as booked.
