2024 Was a Fever Dream, but At Least the Music Was Good

2024, what a year you’ve been. From soaring highs to “are you kidding me” moments, we’ve seen it all—and survived to tell the tale. At gigmit, we spent the year turning challenges into chart-toppers and making noise where it mattered most. It wasn’t always smooth sailing (what’s a year in music without a little chaos?), but hey, we’re here, and we’ve got the stories to prove it. So, grab your headphones, tune out the drama, and let’s revisit the wild, wonderful, and WTF-worthy moments of 2024 together.

The Launch of the gigmit App

Drumroll, please… 🥁 This year, we launched the gigmit app! Sorry, it took us 12 years, but this one is worth the wait.

Powered by AI, this smart matchmaking tool is here to make artist discovery a breeze for event organisers. Whether you’re looking for a headliner or fresh talent, the gigmit app has your back. With smart recommendations and intuitive features, this app makes finding the perfect match easier than ever.

Green Music Performance

Sustainability took center stage with the launch of our Green Music Performance project. This initiative promotes eco-friendly habits among artists and event organisers, encouraging greener practices within the music industry. Re-watch our workshop on how to become a more sustainable artist here.

Game-Changing Partnerships

We joined forces with industry leaders SoundCloud and Thomann to connect our artist communities. These partnerships have given artists the tools they need to succeed, from enhanced visibility to access to professional equipment. Collaboration is the key to success, and we’re thrilled to make it happen. 🤝

Bringing Brands and Festivals Together

This year, we helped major brands find festivals to sponsor, giving them access to up to 20 million festivalgoers worldwide. It’s all about creating meaningful connections that benefit brands, festivals, and audiences alike. Learn more about how it works here.

Helping Brands Find Artists

We collaborated with top brands like Teufel, Warsteiner, Shure, Casio, Lemonaid, Yamaha, JBL, and AKG to connect them with artists. Whether it was band contests, influencer campaigns, or video productions, our collaborations brought music and marketing together in powerful ways. These partnerships empowered artists while helping brands tell their stories through music, and we’re particularly proud of it.
