Gig Planner explained

Every gig, from the first enquiry to the last cent paid

Gig Planner builds the whole workflow for an upcoming show — line-up, fee split, GST, invoice, payment and Payday Super — and then runs it for you, gig after gig.

Gig Set GO takes the headache out of the details, so you can spend your time on the part you actually signed up for: running a great show and playing it.

1. Why you'll love Gig Planner

The gig is the easy part. Everything around it is what eats your week — so that's the part we automated.

One workflow per gig
Venue, date, load-in, fee, line-up and split live on a single gig — not across a group chat, a notes app and somebody's memory of what was agreed.
The maths is done for you
Splits, GST and super are calculated from the type of gig and how each performer is set up. No formulas, no late-night spreadsheet, no awkward recount at the bar.
Chase nothing
Invoices go out, the venue sees the same status you do, and payments land against the right gig. When money arrives it's already reconciled.
Compliance without the homework
Payday Super obligations are worked out per performer, queued, tracked and evidenced — so the deadline arrives and you're already done.

2. Plan · Execute · Play · Pay

Four stages, one flow. You do the short list on the left; Gig Set GO handles the long list on the right.

Plan
Booked → Documented
You: Add the gig, the fee and who's playing.Gig Set GO: Works out each performer's share, the GST treatment and whether super applies — sole trader with an ABN, individual, partnership or company.
Execute
Documented
You: Confirm the line-up and any guest players.Gig Set GO: Locks in the split, collects supplier declarations where they're needed and prepares the venue paperwork.
Play
Invoiced
You: Play the show.Gig Set GO: Issues the tax invoice, shares a venue portal link and shows exactly where the money is up to.
Pay
Paid → Super remitted → Closed
You: Mark the payment (or watch it land).Gig Set GO: Records it on the ledger, pays out the split, queues the super obligation and closes the gig once nothing is outstanding.

3. Know exactly where every gig stands

Progress you can see, compliance you can prove — without opening a single spreadsheet.

A progress bar for your money
Every gig carries a live stage — booked, documented, invoiced, paid, super remitted, closed. One glance tells you whether it's finished or still owes you something.
Compliance at a glance
A single badge shows whether the gig is compliant, waiting on you, or overdue. No digging through emails to work out whether super was actually sent.
Nothing slips quietly
Unsent invoices, unpaid venues and unremitted super stay visible until they're resolved, so the small stuff never turns into a big problem in July.

4. Built for how performers actually work

No two line-ups are the same, and the tax office knows it. Gig Planner treats each performer on their own terms.

Solo and duo acts
Invoice under your own ABN, keep the GST straight and get a clean record of every gig you played and what it actually paid.
Bands with a regular line-up
Set the split once and it applies every gig. Everyone sees the same numbers, so nobody has to do the maths on the drive home.
Guests, deps and casuals
Add a guest for one show only. Their split, declaration and super treatment follow them for that gig without changing the band's setup.
Every entity type
Sole traders, individuals without an ABN, partnerships, companies and performers under 18 working part-time are each treated correctly — the rule follows the person, not a blanket setting.

5. Tell your band — it pays

Free subscription add-ons
When another act signs up through your referral link, both of you get free bonus time on paid plans. Recommend it once, get paid back every month.
Everyone's gigs run smoother
The bands you play with, the venues you play for and the deps you call all working off the same clear paperwork means fewer awkward conversations.
Lift the whole scene
More acts and venues on Gig Set GO means faster payments, cleaner compliance and a healthier independent live music industry.

Questions, answered

Do I need an accountant to use Gig Planner?
No. Gig Planner does the arithmetic that usually sends you to a spreadsheet — the fee split, the GST portion and each performer's super entitlement — and keeps the paperwork trail behind it. Your accountant will thank you, but you don't need one to run a gig.
Does it handle GST?
Yes. If your act is GST registered, invoices are issued as tax invoices with the GST component shown, and the GST collected is separated from what actually lands in the band's pocket.
What is Payday Super and why does it matter?
From July 2026 super has to be paid at the same time as wages, not quarterly. Gig Planner works out which performers are owed super for a gig, queues the obligation, tracks it through to remittance and keeps the evidence in one place.
What if a performer doesn't have an ABN?
That's handled. Performers can be sole traders with an ABN, individuals without one, partnerships or companies — Gig Planner records a supplier declaration where required and applies the right split and super treatment for each person.
Can the venue see what's going on?
Yes. Each gig can share a venue portal link showing the line-up, the invoice and the payment status, so the venue stops emailing you and you stop chasing them.

Spend less time on gig admin. Spend more time on the gig.

Set up your act, add your next show and let Gig Planner carry it all the way from booked to closed.
