Owngig.com is our own crowd-sourced music solution which provides a brand new route to live music – supporting musicians and helping fans. The site provides music and comedy fans with a way to demonstrate demand to their favourite acts and produce one-off concerts.

Owngig is a creative social media concept that innovates in connecting music fans with their favourite bands and artists. Via owngig.com fans with similar music tastes can come together to bid for their own personal gig.

Whether they are a fan of established bands or the latest up and coming talent, Owngig provides a platform to state the act that you would love to see perform for you and make a bid to make it happen. These could be gigs of hundreds, thousands or for an small group, in regular venues or in oneoff locations.

The concept was developed against a background of increasing tout activity and burgeoning secondary sales market that is threatening to exclude true fans. The Owngig philosophy is to champion the fan and support the live music scene regionally and nationally. For artists, the site’s analytics help convert this fan activity into real opportunities and takes away the guesswork.

Initially a live music concept the platform can now be easily applied to all live performance – comedy, theatre or events such as festivals and arts programmes.

The site has taken off with fans of diverse bands from everywhere in the world. The reception from record labels has been similarly enthusiastic and after a test concert featuring The Blow Monkeys, many more are being planned.
