How does Draht work?

Draht connects artists, venues and promoters. Find each other, agree on details, plan the night: all in one place.

Profiles, search, requests, chat and bookings are free. Draht takes no commission on fees.

You make music: artist profile. You have a stage: venue. You organise without your own stage: just create an event. You can be several at once.

Both, with one account. “Discover” is only in the app.

Photos, a sound sample, genre, city and your tech rider.

For artists and venuesEdit profile →

Paste a SoundCloud, Spotify or YouTube link. It shows up as a player on your profile.

For artists

What gear you need and what you bring. Venues list what they have. The automatic match comes with Pro.

For artists and venuesAdd tech rider →

Yes, under “Hand over profile”. For example when an agency set it up for the band.

For artists, venues, and organisations

The promoter invites, or an artist applies for a slot. The other side accepts or declines. You sort out details in the booking chat.

An open spot in the programme, such as “headliner 9 pm”. A venue that’s still needed can be a slot too.

They are declined automatically.

For artists

After seven days, Draht reminds you: follow up, keep it open or withdraw. Without a response, the application is withdrawn after another seven days.

For artistsMy applications →

The slot is free again right away. Bands with “Available at short notice” can step in.

For venues and promoters

Without a subscription you can have up to three applications open at once; with Plus, unlimited.

For artists

Enter date, place and slots. Pick the venue directly or post it as a slot.

For venues and promotersCreate event →

Yes, as a series: weekly, every two weeks or monthly. Series come with Pro.

For venues and promoters

The night’s schedule on one page: times, tech, checklist.

For venues and promoters

Draht reminds you about registration and the music report. With Pro, Draht also collects the setlists and creates the file for the GEMA portal. You submit it yourself.

For venues and promoters

Yes. Copy the code under “Programme on your website” and paste it in. It stays up to date on its own.

For venues, promoters, and organisations

Yes, choose “private party” or “company party” on the event.

For promoters

Each booking has its own chat, and the event has a group chat for everyone.

Everyone reads Draht’s chat notices in their own language.

For five more days, then it is archived.

Others only see free, closed, tentative or booked. Never where or with whom.

For artists and venues

One at a time with a button. All of them automatically and always current with the calendar subscription, from Plus.

Open calendar →

A shared workspace for agencies, collectives, labels and venue groups. Everyone with their own account.

For organisationsStart an organisation →

You, as the owner: show, edit or book. You can revoke it at any time. Booking for members is part of the Organization plan.

For artists, venues, and organisations

No. You can work along without a band or venue.

For promoters and organisations

Offer two to five acts for one slot. When the promoter takes one, the others close by themselves. This is part of the Organization plan.

For organisations

Only private feedback after the event. Only the recipient sees it.

Use “Report” on the profile, event or message. “Block” stops further requests.

“Forgot password” on the sign-in page. The link in the email is valid for 60 minutes. Nothing arrived? Check your spam folder.

Yes, in the app and on the web.

Settings → Notifications, separately for push and email. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

They only load after your consent: on the web via the cookie settings, in the app under Settings → External media.

Yes. Then you search by entering a place.

In the app and on the web under Settings → Delete account, at the very bottom. You hand over or dissolve your own organisations first. Booking data is kept only as long as the law requires.
