How to Book Gigs with Venues
GigFaster uses proven email strategies to reach out
to clubs properly so you can book more music gigs in less time.
We have gathered over 5,000 of the top music venues in the USA for you to reach out to. We've done the hard work. You just have to choose which clubs you want to pitch to.
One of the biggest obstacles in booking gigs for your band is finding venues to book gigs.
A venue can be a local club, theater, restaurant, coffee shop, or even a church. Just think about the crazy amount of restaurants and bars in your immediate area. There are tons. That’s the good news.
The Bad News...
Some “could be” venues are not. In other words, not every venue offers entertainment. Think of New York City as an example. You can go eat at over a thousand different restaurants but only, at most, a 100+ offer entertainment.
More Bad News...
The person booking the gigs at venues changes often.
Booking gigs for a bar, for example, is tiresome.
Dealing with unprofessional bands is tiresome.
Turnover is high.
And Yes, Even MORE Challenges...
Another obstacle is the procedure for submitting your material to the venue. Each venue may have their own submission process.
If you submit the wrong way you may be automatically rejected. A major waste of your time and money.
And again, this process could change when the guy booking gigs for the club decides to move on.
Booking gigs takes a lot of time and energy to be successful.
t (time) + e (energy) = s (success)
If you don’t put the time in you will fail...
If you don’t put the energy in and hustle you will fail.
What Happened To The Good Ole Days Where The Band:
- was excited to book gigs...
- and able to book gigs...
You Could Just Talk to Venues And Actually Book Gigs!
Unfortunately, that is the nature of the game... it's hard and very time consuming.
And that's why I created GigFaster.
The Good News...
You don’t have to waste any more of your time trying to book gigs.
Welcome to GigFaster Venues™!

This is how GigFaster works...
Step #1: Search Our Venue Database
First, search through our database of thousands of venues you want to submit your pitch to. Search by name, genre, city, state, or zip. Venues are updated on a daily basis so there is no worries of using outdated data. Try the search.
Step #2: Submit Your Pitch
Then, select the venue you are interested in. Click “Send Pitch” to open the pitch window. Give the venue a heads up of what you want - headliner or opening act and how much money you’d like to get paid. Each pitch can be customized for each venue. Click “Submit Pitch” and you’re good to go!
Submit to dozens of venues in just a couple of minutes!
It’s as simple as selecting a venue and clicking a button to submit your pitch.
...Saving you hundreds of hours of trying to find your own venue and contact information.
Afraid of competition? By using GigFaster you will be weeks ahead of your competition...
While they are stuck on building their own contact list you will be using the industry’s very best venue database available.
In Less Than 10 Minutes, You Can Pitch To Dozens Of Venues.
What would have taken you days or most likely months to find venues
...and countless hours more to find accurate venue contact information
......is right at your fingertips.
It’s not until you’ve tried booking your band on your own that you truly understand the power of GigFaster.
GigFaster is your personal booking agent that you can actually control.
But, why not just pay a booking agent to get gigs?
For starters, music booking agents can name their price.
Imagine your booking agent takes 50% (it’s not uncommon).
Let’s say you
... get a gig for $1000
...... the booking agent takes $500 off the top (50%)
......... your band gets $500 to split between your band members, sound man, lighting guy, etc
............ you end up with $100 in your pocket (if you're lucky!).
Using GigFaster
... get a gig for $1000
...... your band gets $1000
......... your cut ($$$) is A LOT MORE.
Keep in mind - GigFaster takes ZERO commission on any booked gig.
GigFaster gives you everything you need to find venues and book gigs for your band now.
Oh, and in case you missed it, when you use GigFaster, you can get back to doing what you love.
... Making music.
You can say goodbye to the hours and hours of trying to figure it all out...
Book Gigs And Manage It All From One Convenient Spot
Search thousands of venues, book tours, submit your music in one place.
But don’t take our word for it...
See for yourself how thousands of others are using GigFaster to submit their music to venues today.
You say: I already have a website why do I need GigFaster?
If you already have a website and it’s working out for you so well then why are you here?
The truth is a website will do nothing for you if you don’t actively promote it.
Booking agents and venues aren’t scouring the web looking for bands to play their clubs.
The answer is to be proactive...
... YOU need to find the venues you want to perform at
...... YOU need to submit your pitch to the venues.
Good for you, GigFaster has the venues and contact information right at your fingertips.
GigFaster gives you everything you need to find venues and book gigs for your band now.
