Trusted by 100+ music agencies worldwide
Run the booking and the tour
from one place
Music tour management software covers the touring side of an agency's work: itineraries, day sheets, advancing, flights, hotels, and crew. Artistu adds the booking side that most tour tools miss: deals, contracts with eSign, and invoicing. One platform for music agencies, on web, iOS, and Android.
Made for music agencies, managers, and tour teams
Built for the people who book the shows, run the tours, and answer the 2am text from the tour bus. Not for one role, for the whole team behind a touring act.
Booking agents
Track every offer, lock dates, send contracts in minutes, and hand the show over to advancing without losing context. Your deal memos and your day sheets share the same database.
Artist managers
See the whole roster's tour calendar at a glance, approve contracts on your phone, and keep a single source of truth on fees, flights, and hotels for every artist you represent.
Tour managers and production
Build the tour book, advance every show, share live flight data with the team, and update the itinerary on the road. Edits push to every crew member's phone in seconds.
Book the tour, then run it from the same tab
Most tour management software starts when the deal is already done. Artistu starts at the offer. Capture fee, dates, contacts, and terms once, then push that data straight into the contract, the invoice, and the advancing sheet without retyping anything.
Booking agents see their pipeline. Managers see the calendar. Tour managers see the rolling itinerary. Same data, different views, no exports between tools. See the booking pipeline
Contracts and eSignatures, in minutes
Generate contracts from your own templates the moment a date confirms. The artist or promoter signs on any device, and the signed PDF lands back in the booking automatically. Rider and deal memo travel with it.
No third-party eSign tool to pay for separately, no copy-paste between tabs. Built-in, with audit trail. See contracts and eSign
Invoices that match the booking, automatically
Every confirmed show generates a draft invoice with the right fee, VAT, deal terms, and promoter details prefilled. Send as PDF or as a Peppol e-invoice where required (rare in this category, standard for European agencies).
Track open balances, send reminders, and reconcile payouts without bouncing into a separate accounting tool for routine work. See invoicing and Peppol
Show advancing that the production team will actually use
Run the advance for every show in a structured workspace: load-in, sound check, set times, hospitality, technical rider, parking, hotel, ground, flights, settlement. Each field has a real input, not a free-text box.
Promoters and venues fill in their side. Tour manager confirms. Day sheet generates itself. Live flight data flows in via the integration, so the team sees gate changes and delays as they happen.

Built for live bands, DJ tours, and multi-territory rosters
Live band tours
Routed tours with crew, bus calls, hotels, advancing, and full settlement. The kind of run where the day sheet matters and the rider isn't optional.
DJ tours and electronic acts
Weekend-heavy schedules, fly-dates across multiple time zones, fast contract turnaround, and a calendar that has to stay clean across ten artists at once.
Multi-territory agencies
Agencies running tours across the UK, EU, and the US: VAT-correct invoices, Peppol where it's needed, and one team view that doesn't break when you cross a border.
What agencies say about running tours on 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.”
“After having worked with Aboss for many years, Artistu was a program that required minimal change from me. I got used to the interface and way of working within just a few days. Since using the software, bookings have been created and sent out incredibly fast. Definitely recommended!”
“I play in local cafes and bars on a weekly basis. I used to keep track of my bookings in a spreadsheet so Artistu is a game changer for me.”
“When doing advancing for my artists I used to have to switch between different tools. Now I can do everything in Artistu.”
“I’ve been using Artistu for a few months now & I have seen insane improvements on my time management when it comes to agency bookings. It basically does everything for you & is so easy to keep track of all updates & advancements. Best in the business”
“We use Artistu to manage our roster of artists. It’s a great tool to keep track of all the important information. And our artists love it too.”
