Welcome to the official BookLive Blog!
If you’re new here, BookLive is the all-in-one platform built for gigging musicians who are serious about turning their musical talents into high-paying, high-end gigs. From managing bookings and setlists to staffing your band and automating your contracts and invoices, BookLive takes the administrative burden off your shoulders so you can focus on performing and getting paid.
We launched this blog to keep you updated on new features, improvements, and bug fixes that make BookLive more powerful and easier to use each month. Here’s what’s new as of May 7, 2025 👇
🚀 New Features & Improvements
🎵 No More Duplicate Songs in Setlists
We’ve enhanced our setlist management system to prevent accidental duplicate song entries for the same event date. This ensures cleaner setlists and a more professional performance flow.
📅 Calendar Tooltips
Hovering over an event on your Home Calendar will now show a quick tooltip with basic event details—no more clicking through to get the info you need at a glance.
⛔ Blackout Date Ranges
You can now block off multiple unavailable dates at once using the new date range selector in your calendar. Whether you’re on tour or taking a vacation, it’s now easier than ever to stay booked only when you’re available.
📈 “Book More Gigs” Button
We’ve added a new “Book More Gigs” button to the Home screen. It’s a direct shortcut to the tools that help you grow your gig calendar, faster.
👥 Group Leadership Tools
Managing a group? Our new Leadership Section on the Group Dashboard makes it easier to see who’s in charge — and now, leaders can even remove or replace other leaders as needed.
💡 Why These Updates Matter
These features are built with your real-world gigging needs in mind. Whether you’re managing a solo career or leading a full band, we want to make BookLive the simplest and most effective way to run the business side of your music career.
