Announcement Welcome to DIG THE GIG — Your underground guide to local music scenes

Post image
1 Upvotes

We're launching DIG THE GIG (https://digthegig.live) — a concert guide focused on local music scenes across cities and countries.

If you've ever tried to keep up with underground gigs, you probably know how difficult it is. Mainstream event platforms rarely list them, and the only way to find out about upcoming shows is to already follow the right promoters, venues, or bands — and even then, announcements easily get lost in your feed.

We want to solve that.

But we don't just want to aggregate events. We want to support independent music scenes and help local artists and promoters find their audience. In the long run, we hope to build stronger connections between scenes in different cities and countries — something more tangible than the traditional "ask a punk."

We're building an international platform where both locals and travelers can find a gig in any city within a minute.

Our focus is live original music of all genres. No DJs, no cover bands, no mainstream pop.

Browse and filter gigs, save your favorites, follow genres, venues, or entire cities, and we'll notify you about new events and any updates to the gigs you've saved. For each filter you subscribe to, you can choose how often you receive notifications: every new gig, a daily digest, or a weekly digest.

We also have Google Calendar integration, so you can keep track of the gigs you want to attend.

Any registered user can submit a gig. If you're in a band, organize events, or simply know about an upcoming show, we'd love for you to add it.

The website also works as a Progressive Web App (PWA), so you can install it on your phone like a regular app and receive push notifications.

Right now it's a basic MVP, but very soon we'll be launching promoter accounts, adding more cities, and introducing plenty of both obvious and unexpected features.

This community is for sharing gigs, discovering bands and venues, talking about local scenes, and helping independent live music reach more people. Wherever you're based, you're welcome here.

If you find a bug or have an idea for improvement, please send us your feedback using the form on the website. We want to build this project as openly as possible.

Any help, support, or contribution is truly appreciated.

And thank you to everyone who made it to the end — and especially to everyone who's joining us on this journey. ❤️

Announcement DIG THE GIG on your home screen — how to install it on iPhone and Android

Your next gig, one tap away.

You can use DIG THE GIG like a mobile app: give it a place on your home screen, open it in its own window, and get push notifications about the shows you care about.

It’s a Progressive Web App, or PWA — installed directly from the website.

iPhone / iPad

  1. Open digthegig.live in Safari. If you’re reading this inside Instagram or Reddit, open the link in Safari first.
  2. Tap Share. Depending on your Safari layout, you may need to open the page menu first.
  3. Scroll down and choose Add to Home Screen.
  4. If you see Open as Web App, leave it switched on.
  5. Tap Add, then launch DIG THE GIG from its new icon.

For push notifications on iPhone and iPad, you need iOS / iPadOS 16.4 or later and must open DIG THE GIG from the home-screen icon.

Android

  1. Open digthegig.live in Chrome.
  2. Open the site’s main menu and tap Install App if it’s available.
  3. Alternatively, open Chrome’s ⋮ menu → Install and create shortcut → Install. On some versions, look for Install app or Add to Home screen, then follow the installation prompt.
  4. Launch DIG THE GIG from its new icon.

If the installation option is missing, check that you’re using Chrome itself rather than the browser built into another app.

Turn on the notifications you actually want

Open the installed app, sign in, and go to Account settings → Notifications.

Switch on Push notifications and allow notifications when your phone asks. Push is enabled for each device, so repeat this on any other phone or tablet where you want alerts.

You can choose to hear about:

  • New gigs matching your subscription — save a filter for the cities, genres, or venues you follow.
  • Updates to saved gigs — changes to the schedule or venue, cancellations, and availability.
  • Saved gig reminders — a reminder the day before a show.

Your gigs, your pace

For new gigs matching your subscribed filter, choose:

  • Every gig — hear about each new match as it’s added.
  • Daily digest — one round-up a day.
  • Weekly digest — one round-up a week.

You’ll find these options under Subscription in your account settings. Updates to saved gigs still arrive right away when those notifications are enabled.

Already using the website?

It’s the same DIG THE GIG account. Sign in to access your saved gigs and subscription. You can keep browsing in your browser too — installation simply makes it easier to get back to the music.

Need a hand? Leave a comment here, DM @digthegig.live, use Feedback on the site, or email [hello@digthegig.live](mailto:hello@digthegig.live). Tell us your phone, browser, and where you got stuck.

We’re still filling out the calendar across different cities, and some shows are bound to slip past us. If you spot a missing gig, know a venue we should follow, or have an idea for the site — we’d love to hear from you.

Suggest a gig

Any registered user can suggest a show. Sign in to https://digthegig.live/, hit Suggest a Gig, and send us the details. A date, venue, lineup, and link to the announcement help us check the listing.

You don’t have to be a promoter or play in a band. If you know about a gig, you can suggest it. We review submissions before they go live.

Leave feedback

Found a bug, spotted incorrect information, or wish something worked differently? When you’re signed in, hit the Feedback button in the corner of the site and tell us.

Suggestions for bands, venues, and local scenes we’re missing are welcome too.
