We trialled Showlinc for a month to fill our mid-week slots and ended up keeping it—simple as that. Enquiries are up around 30% and we’re booking quality acts without the back-and-forth. It’s the first platform that actually understands how venues work.

We used to spend hours trawling emails and Insta DMs. Now we post a brief, shortlist, and lock it in. Fridays were already strong, but Showlinc helped us turn Thursdays into proper live nights. Couldn’t be happier with the workflow.

Straight away we saw better fit between our room and the artists applying—fewer no-shows, tighter comms, cleaner invoicing. The calendar sync and messaging alone are worth it. We’re planning the next quarter with a lot less stress.

As an independent artist, getting solid gigs used to be guesswork. My profile on Showlinc led to three paid shows in two weeks, and the brief made expectations clear before I walked in. It’s professional, fair, and actually gets results.

Frequently asked questions

How does Showlinc work?

Create a free account as a Musician or Venue, set up your profile or post a gig, then connect and confirm details via in-platform messages.

Musicians can create a profile for free. Venues can post gigs (with optional paid features like featured/priority listings). We don’t take a commission—payment terms are agreed directly between venue and artist.

How are bookings confirmed?

Once both sides agree on date, pay and set length, lock it in through the message thread/booking details. Both parties receive an email summary for clarity.

Are there rules on cancellations or no-shows?

Showlinc connects venues and artists but isn’t the employer/agent. We recommend confirming terms in writing (rate, set times, tech needs, cancellation window). Report issues to us and we’ll review breaches of community guidelines.
