Questions, answered

The whole home for live music, built in the open. Band websites and the musician board are live today; a gig guide, venue pages, band directory, gig alerts, bookings, studios, a booking marketplace, merch and ticketing are planned. See the full roadmap for what's real right now.

Sign up, then choose what you're actually here for: build a band website, use the musician board, or just look around Backstage first. You can always do the other later from the same account.

No. The public site is one half. Behind it is Backstage, where the whole band manages gigs, booking enquiries and who's free to play.

None. Pick a look, fill in your details and share the link. If you can use Instagram, you can do this.

Free while we build in public: every tool, on every account, no upgrade wall. The only thing that costs money today is registering your own domain, if you want one, priced close to registrar cost. Once the platform's finished, simple per-member pricing lands (under £5 a month per person, with part going to charity). See the full breakdown on Pricing.

Every Bandhamster site carries a small "Powered by Bandhamster" line in its footer, permanently. That's the trade, and it stays true even once member pricing arrives. Free right now is genuinely free, not a trial, it just won't stay free forever.

Your site has an enquiry form. A message lands in your Backstage inbox (and emails you), and you reply, set a status and track the booking from there.

Each member marks the dates they can play. When an enquiry comes in, you can see at a glance who's free for that date, so you answer with confidence.

Yes. Invite them by email from the Members page; they get their own login to help manage the site, gigs and availability.

Yes, on any account. Search, buy and connect it without ever leaving Backstage, and you can always transfer it out: we never trap your domain. Priced close to registrar cost, a small margin, not a moneymaker.

A free classified board for finding a band or a member: post an ad, search by instrument and location, no ads or clutter. No band website required to use it.

Band websites (site builder, enquiry inbox, gig diary, domains) and the musician board (post an ad, search, message) are real and live. Everything else on the roadmap is planned, not built. We don't dress up "planned" as "live."
