How a night comes together

Written like the run sheet taped next to your sound board, because that is what it replaces: the texts, the Instagram DMs and the email from three weeks ago.

Got questions?

So, uh... what is it?

Octiv.live is your hub for booking, promoting and scheduling live local music. It puts the whole booking conversation between artists and venues in one place. Gone are the days of endless email chains, DM rabbit holes, and shows that die before they hit the stage.

Okay... is it free?

Yes. Signing up is free for artists and venues. All we need is your email so you hear about your first booking, or your millionth.

How does booking work?

Every artist has a booking link on their page. Send a request and they are notified right away. They can accept or pass from their dashboard, and you can message each other on the booking.

Do venues need an account?

No. Anyone can send a request from an artist's page. An account gets you a venue page, casting calls, bills and the show chat.
