About Zestunes
Zestunes is a subscription platform that connects musicians with their biggest fans. It brings three communities into one place: artists who want a direct relationship with the people who listen to them, fans who want to get closer to the music they love, and venues that host live music and need to find the right artists for their room.
Artists create a profile, publish content and offer membership tiers with their own prices and benefits — from early access and behind-the-scenes posts to livestreams and ticket announcements. Fans can follow any artist for free, subscribe to the tiers they want, send tips, and keep up with everything through a single feed. Venues list their details and live music offering, post updates, and coordinate performances with artists through a simple digital handshake rather than endless email threads.
The platform also puts live music on the map. Our discovery map shows gigs, pub and bar sets, street busking and festivals near you, so finding something to go and see on a Friday night takes seconds rather than several different apps and listings.
Zestunes is designed and built by a small independent team of musicians, promoters and software engineers based in the United Kingdom, who got tired of watching artists hand over their audience to algorithms. We build the product in the open with artists and venues, prioritising fair terms, transparent pricing, and tools that put the fan relationship back where it belongs: with the artist.
