DeveloperManage and display live shows, tour dates, artists, and venues. A gig management plugin for musicians, bands, and performers.
GigManager is a WordPress plugin for managing and displaying live shows. Whether you are a musician, a band, a DJ, a comedian, a speaker… or any kind of performer, GigManager helps you manage and display your live shows using simple shortcodes.
The plugin uses native WordPress custom post types for Shows, Artists, Venues, and Tours, giving you a familiar editing experience with full support for revisions, trash, and bulk actions.
Features
- Show management — Create shows with date, time, artist, venue, tour, ticket URL, external link, notes, and status (sold out or cancelled).
- Artists, Venues, and Tours — Manage reusable artist, venue, and tour records linked to your shows.

[gigmanager_shows]shortcode. - Three display templates — Choose from list (card-style), table, or classic (two-row) layouts.
- Sidebar widget — Show a compact list of upcoming shows in any widget area.
- Customize to your liking — You can override any of the templates. Paste them into your theme’s
gigmanager/directory to customize the output. - Customizable labels — Rename “Show”, “Artist”, “Tour”, and more from the settings page with ease.
