Made for booking agents and artist managers

Artistu fits the way agencies actually work. Not a generic CRM stretched into music, not a tour app bolted onto a calendar. The full booking lifecycle, one platform, one price per agency.

Booking agents

Move deals from hold to confirmed without leaving the platform. Send contracts, track signatures, raise invoices, and hand the show to your advancing team in a couple of clicks.

Artist managers

See every artist's calendar, travel, and earnings in one view. Share what artists need to see, keep the rest internal, and stop forwarding email threads at midnight.

DJ and live music agencies

Built for the realities of touring rosters. Live flight data, shared calendars, eSignatures, and a show advancing module that handles the detail other tools wave at.

One place for deals, holds, and confirmed shows

Capture a fee, date, venue, and contact once, then reuse them across the contract, the invoice, the itinerary, and the artist's calendar. Holds, options, and confirmed bookings live on one timeline so your team always sees the same picture.

Filter by artist, agent, status, territory, or any custom field you add. Shared with your team by default, shared with the artist on the parts they need, kept private on the parts they don't. See how bookings work in Artistu

Contracts and eSignatures, without leaving the deal

Build templates that match how your agency actually contracts. Pull in deal data from the booking, send for signature, and store the signed file on the show. Audit trails included, no DocuSign tab.

Need a different contract for a festival vs a club? Set up as many templates as you want and pick one when you send. Riders, tech specs, and travel docs attach to the same record. Read the contracts and eSignatures guide

Invoices that match the contract, automatically

Generate invoices straight from the booking, send them in seconds, and chase the unpaid ones with automated reminders. Peppol e-invoicing is built in for European clients that require it, which is most of them now.

Track deposits and balances per show, per artist, per agency. Pull a financial statement for any date range without exporting to a spreadsheet first. Read about invoicing and Peppol

Show advancing that production teams actually trust

The advancing module in Artistu is the most detailed in the category. Travel, hotels, ground, soundcheck, set times, riders, contacts, dietary, dressing rooms. Anything that ends up on the day sheet lives in one structured place.

Share with the promoter, share with the tour manager, share with the artist. Each role sees what they need. Live flight data updates itineraries automatically when something slips.

Built for DJ agencies, live band agencies, and managers

DJ and electronic music agencies

Most of our agencies are electronic or DJ rosters. Festival deals, club residencies, fly dates, last-minute schedule changes. The advancing module and live flight data exist because this is what we built for first.

Live band and ensemble agencies

Bigger touring parties, more passengers, more riders, more contracts per show. Artistu handles multi-artist bookings on the same event, attached riders, and travel manifests without forcing you into spreadsheets.

Multi-territory and multi-language agencies

Run an agency that books in five countries and three currencies? Documents send in the buyer's language, invoices comply with their local format, and your team works in theirs. Peppol covers most of Europe out of the box.
