A hive for the performing arts community
Find the perfect performer for your event
A two-sided marketplace for live entertainment — venues post slots, performers list availability, and musicians connect, collaborate, and form bands.
One Platform.
Four Communities.
GigHive brings together the people who make music and performing acts happen. Venues looking for talent. Performers ready to gig. Studios opening their doors. Musicians searching for their people. All in one place — no middlemen, no guesswork.

Always Growing
GigHive is built for the people gigging right now. Every feature was shaped around real workflows — real performers setting their own prices, real venues finding exactly what they need, real studios filling their days. And there's more coming.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees. No surprises. Here’s exactly how it works.
Performers — Free
Listing and receiving bookings on GigHive costs nothing. You set your own rate and receive 100% of it — we don’t take a cut from your payout.
No monthly fee. No subscription. No commission deducted from you.
Venues — Pay on booking
Fees are added on top of the performer’s rate when a booking is made:
- Platform fee: 12% + £0.50
- Payment processing: 2% + £0.40
Example: £300 performer rate → venue pays ~£343.63 total.
