What's coming to Zestunes
From keeping a gig in your diary to making sure artists get paid, here's what we're building next for fans, artists and venues.
Event reminders & calendar

Gigs both sides can trust
A booking flow designed to give artists a guaranteed fee and venues protection if things change.

Venue books and pays up front
The venue commits to the date by funding the booking, so the artist knows the gig is real.

Zestunes holds the funds
Money sits safely in the middle rather than in either party's account while the gig is pending.

Artist is paid after the gig
The booking is settled once the performance has been confirmed as complete.
