Three months in: everything Gigvault does today (and it is still free)

Three months after launch, here is what Gigvault is today, in one post, for everyone following it here.

The short version: Gigvault is a concert diary. You log the shows you actually went to, and it builds your history, your stats and your Concert Wrapped from that. Logging is free, unlimited, forever. No credit card, no ads, no data sold. Your history is never behind a paywall.

Three months in: 608 festival pages, 13 languages, and what a summer of festivals taught me

When Gigvault launched here in June it was a concert diary with one promise: log a show, and the setlist, venue and full lineup fill themselves in. Three months and one festival summer later, here is what actually changed, with numbers you can check on the site.

Festivals, stage by stage. There are now 608 festival pages with 2026 lineups, from Glastonbury and Hellfest down to small club weekenders. You open the festival, mark the acts you actually stood in front of, and each one becomes its own logged show with its own setlist. A three-day weekend takes about ten minutes to enter and counts as fifteen or twenty sets in your stats, not one line that says you were there. That was the most requested thing after launch, and it is the reason the app finally makes sense for people whose concert year is two festivals and not twenty club shows.

Openers count. Support acts are logged as separate shows and appear in your artist stats. If you saw a band three times as an opener before they headlined, Gigvault knows that. Nothing else I have tried does.

The data underneath. 7,426 artist pages, 2,173 venues and 713 city pages are live, each with upcoming shows and, for past shows, the setlists. Concert history covers 82 countries; Germany alone has 3,754 tracked shows, the US 1,823, the UK 1,751. If your city or festival is missing, the page tells you and you can add it from inside the app.

Concert photographers deserve better than 48 hours in a feed.

Concert photography is one of the most undervalued creative disciplines in the music industry.

You fight for a photo pass. You squeeze into the pit with 10 other photographers. Three songs, no flash, elbows everywhere. You spend the rest of the night editing. You post and 48 hours later, your work has disappeared into the feed.

But the problem goes deeper than that.

Why did Spotify Wrapped never happen for concerts?

Spotify completely changed how people think about listening history.

Wrapped turned music consumption into something emotional, social and deeply personal. People don t just share stats they share identity, memories and parts of their life story.

But I ve always felt that live music is even more emotional than streaming.
