Founding 200
The first 200 GigArmy performers and venues
Free months for the first 200 accounts: performers get 2 months of Standard with 0% GigArmy booking fee, venues get 3 months of Venue Pro. Plus a permanent Founding Performer or Founding Venue badge. No card, no automatic renewal.
How to get a place
- Create a performer or venue account.
- Finish and publish your profile. Performers: stage name, act type, area, starting fee and a short description. Venues: venue name, type, area, public trading address and a short description.
- That's it — your place is awarded automatically while places remain, and shows on your dashboard.

2 months of Performer Standard free: 0% GigArmy booking fee on every completed gig while it runs, and a permanent Founding Performer badge.

When the free months end
Nothing happens automatically and no payment is taken. You actively choose. Performers: Free (£0 with a 10% fee per completed booking), Standard (£50 a month or £550 a year, 0% fee) or Promoted (£100 a month or £1,000 a year). Venues: Free (2 standard posts a month), Pro (£39 a month or £400 a year), Priority (£69 a month or £700 a year) or Group (£149 a month or £1,500 a year).
Invite performers and venues
Every founding member gets a unique invite code and link. Every 3 performers or venues who join with your code and complete a genuine profile earn you another free month of your founding plan, up to 3 extra months. Each account can be referred once, and you can't refer yourself.
One shared list: places are allocated in order from genuine performer and venue records only, capped at 200 in total. Your place number, dates and bonus months are set by GigArmy and can't be edited. Exact performer addresses are never published — profiles show an approximate area and travel radius only.
