Live Music Tools & Calculators

Free tools for every gig — time your set, split the pay, sync your delays, work out the door and the merch table, and plan a rehearsal that keeps the whole band on beat.

The Live Music Museum

Wander an immersive museum of the bands, sounds, and moments that shape live music — legendary venues and festival stages alongside the instruments and gear that built the sound, the eras and genres that defined it, and the craft of the live performance, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind every great show: how each one came to be, what makes it matter, and the role it plays in shaping how we experience live music.
