Your stage plot and kit
Your kit is what a venue gets before a show: a stage plot, an input list, and a rider or tech spec if you have one. It lives under Your kit in the sidebar.
Upload what you already have
If you've already got a plot, upload it. A photo of a hand-drawn one is completely fine — most of the best plots we've seen are marker on paper. PDFs and images up to 10MB.
Your kit files are private. They're not on your website and they don't have a public link. A plot has your bandmates' names on it and usually a phone number, so it goes to a venue deliberately, not to anyone who guesses a URL.
Or build a stage plot here
No plot yet? Build a stage plot gives you a stage to drag people and gear onto. Add each person, name them, say what they play, and pick how they're drawn — standing, seated, behind a kit.
We don't ask anyone's pronouns. You pick the figure, so a venue isn't guessing from a name.
Say which edge is the audience. It's the one thing that makes a plot worse than useless if it's wrong — an engineer sets up a mirror image of your band and nobody finds out until soundcheck. The grey edge on the canvas is the front of the stage, and you can flip it.
While you're drawing, nothing goes to venues. Hit Done — venues get this when you're happy with it.
Changing it later
Edit any time. When you save a new version, that's what venues get from then on — but the old one is kept, so if someone says "that's not what you sent me" you can see exactly what was.
If you change your plot after you've advanced a show, we know the venue is holding one that no longer matches, and we'll tell you. That's the single most common way a plot causes a bad night: the band rearranges and nobody mentions it.
Input lists
An input list says what you need plugged in. Small rooms often can't run everything, so mark each channel as something you need, want, or would like — then a small venue can trim from the bottom without phoning you at 4pm, and you've had that argument in advance instead of at soundcheck.
If you're not sure what to put, we'll suggest the standard, universally-stocked choices — an SM57 on a snare, a DI on a bass. Whatever you write yourself always wins.
Sending it to a venue
Download PDF gives you one printable page: the plot, your inputs, who to call on the day, and anything else you've noted. It's the shape venues actually receive — one sheet that gets printed and pinned up, not a multi-page packet.
There's a small room version too, which sends your input list already trimmed to the channels you marked as needed. Worth using when you know the room is tight: you've made the call yourself instead of having someone make it for you at soundcheck.
Preview opens the same page in your browser first, so you can check it before it goes anywhere.
If you uploaded a plot rather than building one, the page still works — it comes out as a cover sheet that points at your file, so you can send both together.
Sending the advance
On the web: go to Gigs, find the show, and hit Send the advance. If the venue doesn't have a contact on file yet you'll be asked for a name and an email first — that's who it goes to.
In the app: open a show and you'll find Send the advance at the bottom of the day sheet. It sends one email to the venue's production contact with your kit attached, and asks them to confirm whatever the show is still missing — load-in, doors, set time, the deal.
One email rather than two, because a venue that gets two answers one. Replies come straight to you: we're only the postman.
You can also just tell Roadie to send it.
If the show doesn't have a production contact with an email address yet, we'll say so rather than sending into the dark — add the contact and try again.
When your setup changes
The moment an advance goes out, we make a note of exactly what the venue is now holding. If you change your lineup or your gear afterwards, that show is flagged as out of date, and you can send the current one from the same place.
This is the thing engineers actually complain about: the band changed the setup and nobody told them, and they find out at soundcheck. Now you find out first.
