Sound Familiar?

You're running a venue on a small team and six different platforms.

Independent venues are doing incredible work but the operational reality is brutal. One or two people carrying the entire weight of booking, artist advancement, crew management and equipment. And every piece of critical information living somewhere different.

📂

Everything lives somewhere different

Rider in an email. Setlist in a WhatsApp. Crew rota on a spreadsheet. Guest list in someone's notes app. You spend half your week just trying to find the right version of the right document.

🔄

Endless back-and-forth communication

Chasing riders, resending tech specs, explaining load-in times for the third time. The admin of getting a band properly briefed falls entirely on you, every single show.

👥

Casual crew you can't easily loop in or out

Your team changes show by show. But there's no clean way to bring a casual crew member up to speed quickly, share what they need to know, and get them off the system cleanly when the night's done.

🔧

Tools that were never built for this

You've patched together Google Drive, spreadsheets, email threads and messaging apps to run your venue. You think its working but it's actually hindering you. None of it was built for live music at the grassroots level.

💡

You shouldn't need five tools to run one show. Stage Portal replaces the patchwork with one platform built specifically for how independent venues like yours actually operate, from the first artist enquiry to the final load-out.

Everything You Need To Your Run Shows, All in One Place

You’ve got the talent, the crowd, and the energy. Now get the systems to match. Stage Portal is built by people who’ve run bands, festivals, and venues, so it's not generic event software repurposed for live music.

One Platform

Every gig in one clean platform

Stage Portal replaces the WhatsApp chains, scattered PDFs, and last-minute chaos with one organised system, for every artist, band, venue and organiser putting on shows.

  • All gigs, times, and crew in one place
  • Information always up to date
  • Easy to use

Booking Management

Manage every gig, confirmed booking, and show detail in one shared system. From initial hold to load out, nothing lives in someone’s inbox. Your whole team always has the same picture.

Artist Advancement & Rider Management

Stop chasing riders by email. Artists submit their tech riders and hospitality requirements directly into Stage Portal in a standardised format you can actually use. Less back-and-forth, faster load-in prep, and no last-minute surprises on the night.

Equipment & Asset Tracking

Know exactly where your gear is and who has it. Allocate equipment to shows, track cross-hires, and avoid the expensive 'where’s the DI box?' conversation at every soundcheck. Your entire inventory, always accounted for.

Crew Scheduling

Assign your sound engineer, bar staff, security, and crew to shows in minutes. Everyone gets notified with their role, timing, and show details automatically. No group texts. No chasing confirmations. No one turning up not knowing what they’re doing.

Run Sheets & Guest Lists

Auto-generate run sheets that update in real time as your show details change. Guest lists stay live and shareable right up to doors. Your team always has the current version on any device, without anyone resending a PDF.

Expenses, Revenue & Show Reports

Track income and costs per show, month or year. Eaisly see which nights are profitable, which aren’t, and why.

Data Insights

See trends across your programme: attendance, revenue, genre, booking lead times. Use real data to decide which nights to grow, which to cut, and where to focus to build a more sustainable venue.

Set Up in 15 Minutes.

Who is Stage Portal for?
Stage Portal is for anyone involved in putting on shows: Gigging bands, Independent/D.I.Y. artists, Multi-band musicians, The “organiser” in every band. Grassroots venues, Community venues, Managers, Promoters & event organisers
How long does it take to get set up?
Most artists and venues are fully set up in 10–15 minutes. Add your next gig, drop in your rider details, upload a setlist and you’re ready to go. There’s no complex onboarding, no training required and no steep learning curve. You can even start by adding just one gig, and build from there.
Do my bandmates or venue partners need a paid account?
No. There is only one cost per band or venue and then you can invite everyone else to join.
Can I manage casual crew who only work a few nights?
Yes, and this is one of Stage Portal's biggest strengths for independent venues. You can onboard a crew member for a specific show, give them exactly the access and information they need, and remove them cleanly once the night's done. No mess, no lingering access.
What happens after my 30-day free trial?
If Stage Portal is the right fit for your venue, you move onto your chosen plan at the Venues Day discounted rate 20% off locked in for your first year. If it's not right for you, walk away with no charge and no obligation.
Is Stage Portal only for larger or more established venues?
Not at all. Stage Portal is built specifically for independent, grassroots venues, the kind run by one or two people doing everything. It's powerful enough to handle a full weekly programme, but simple enough that a small team can get up and running without a dedicated IT person or weeks of training.
