Made for the people who book the shows

Entertainment booking software is the tool booking agents, artist managers, and entertainment agencies use to run rosters, send offers, sign contracts, advance shows, and invoice promoters. Artistu fits each of those jobs in one place.

Booking agents

Track every offer from option to confirmed show. Send contracts and get them signed in minutes, not days. See your roster's full calendar in one view, with double-booking warnings before you commit.

Artist managers

Keep your artists' bookings, travel, contracts, and earnings in one place. Share calendars with the artist's team, sync to Google or iCal, and pull a financial statement for any artist in seconds.

Entertainment agencies

Whether your roster is 5 DJs or 200 live acts, Artistu scales without per-seat pricing. Invite your team, set permissions, and run the entire agency, from request to payment, from one platform.

From booking request to confirmed show

Capture booking requests from your website, route them to the right agent, and check artist availability in one click. Every offer has a clear status, a deal sheet, and a paper trail your team can find later.

When the show confirms, the data flows into the contract, the invoice, and the advancing file. No double entry, no spreadsheet drift, no lost details when an agent is on holiday. See how bookings work

Contracts and eSignatures, sent and signed today

Build customizable contract templates once, then generate a signed contract for any show in under a minute. Promoters sign with a click. Artist riders attach automatically, with the right version per artist.

Every signed contract lands in the right artist's file, the right show, and the right promoter's contact card. Your team sees who's signed and who's chasing, without forwarding email threads. See how contracts work

Invoices, VAT, and Peppol, handled

Generate compliant invoices in the currency your promoter pays in, with the right VAT, the right tax ID, and your agency's branding. Track partial payments, reconcile balances, and chase overdue invoices with one click.

For Belgian, Dutch, and other European agencies, Peppol e-invoicing is built in. No add-ons, no separate portal, no manual XML. Send the invoice, hit Peppol, done. See how invoicing works

Show advancing that the tour manager actually uses

Build an advancing template once. Every confirmed show inherits it. Promoters fill in the venue info, technical specs, hotel and airport details directly in Artistu, with the changes pushed to the iOS and Android apps.

Live flight data updates itineraries when planes are delayed. The tour manager sees the change before the artist does. That's what world-class show advancing looks like in practice.

What agencies say about switching to Artistu

“I am incredibly happy that we switched to Artistu. The system performs better than all the other platforms we’ve used before as an agency and management. What makes it even more impressive is that updates appear almost daily, which are not only improvements but genuinely innovative. So Artistu is not only effective, but also remarkably efficient. A powerful combination that makes working a lot more enjoyable.”
