The band releasing an album

A countdown to release day, two tracks previewed in a section reserved for the fan club, then the video on the day itself. The app follows the album from the first teaser to the launch show.

The band on tour

Every date is in the CMS Agenda with its city, its venue and the ticket button. Ten days before the Leeds show, a notification targeted at the area reaches the fans who are there.

The band playing close to home

This month's gigs are announced in the app, and the crowd sends its photos through the Submission section: they come to you, and you choose which ones to publish.

Everything your fans have at hand in the app

Your songs

Your tracks, demos and acoustic sessions to play in a CMS Podcasts audio section, for any music you hold the rights to.

Your music videos

A YouTube section linked to your channel: every video you post there shows up in the app, with nothing to republish.

Your tour dates

Every show in the CMS Agenda, with the venue, the time doors open and the button to your ticketing site.

Band news

The studio diary, behind the scenes of a video shoot, a new bass player joining: in articles, photos and videos.

Your merch

T-shirts, vinyl, posters: a link takes fans to your online store, which handles the orders.

Crowd photos

Fans send you their concert photos through the Submission section; nothing is published without your approval.

Release day

The video drops at 6 pm. Here is what the app does, without you updating it by hand.
  1. The video is live on YouTube

    You post it on your channel as usual. The app's YouTube section, linked to that channel, shows it in turn: nothing to republish.
  2. Automatic push tells your fans

    Turned on for the YouTube section, Automatic push sends a notification when the video appears there. It shows up on the phones of everyone who has the app, whether or not they follow your accounts.
  3. The launch show is in the agenda

    It is already published in the CMS Agenda, with the ticket button: a fan who has just watched the video can get a ticket right away. If Automatic push is on for the Agenda, another notification goes out on the day of the show.

What AI does for the band and its fans

Answering fans, adding a section, publishing the tour: each use comes with its price.
To answer

An assistant that knows your tour dates

"Are you playing Leeds this year?" The Chatbot searches the shows in your CMS Agenda and your articles, then answers citing the date in question. It does not sell tickets: fans buy theirs on your ticketing site.

To extend

A countdown or a quiz on your lyrics

One sentence is enough to describe the section: "a countdown to the album release on March 7" or "a ten-question quiz on the lyrics of our first record". The AI Extension Builder builds it into the app, with the same design as your other sections.

To publish

The tour added to the agenda from Claude or ChatGPT

Paste the list of dates into Claude or ChatGPT, connected to your app through MCP: the assistant prepares one event per show, with the city and the venue, then the notification to fans. Nothing is published or sent until you give the go-ahead.
Included

How much does a band app cost?

The web version, which fans open from a link in your bio or your newsletter, is available from the Standard plan. The app on the App Store and Google Play, Automatic push and a paid fan club require the Premium plan. Hosting and updates are included in every plan.
Standard · web version only$30 /month, billed yearly
Premium · iOS, Android and web app$55 /month, billed yearly
Memberships (paid fan club), with Premium$49 /month
Budget separately for the developer accounts, paid directly to Apple and Google. On each fan club subscription, the stores take their commission; GoodBarber takes none.

Band app: questions musicians ask

Can fans listen to our songs in the app?

Yes. Your tracks, demos and live recordings play in a CMS Podcasts section, and your videos come in through the YouTube section. Only upload music you hold the rights to: your own songs, your own recordings. For a cover or a track released on a label, check first who owns the rights.

Can we sell tickets or merch in the app?

The app points to your sales but does not take the payments: every date in the CMS Agenda has a button to your ticketing site, and a link opens your online store. Payments stay where you already sell.

How do we set up a paid fan club?

With Memberships, in the iOS and Android apps: fans subscribe in the app to unlock reserved sections, such as demos, previews or the tour diary. Apple and Google take their commission on each subscription. For a free fan club, Authentication and User groups keep those sections for registered members.

Our fans are everywhere: can we notify only the ones in one city?

Yes: a push notification can target a geographic area, for example the Bristol area before your show there; fans elsewhere don't get it. On the night of the show, Geofencing, available from the Premium plan, can also send a message to people entering the area around the venue; it only reaches fans who have allowed the app to use their location.

Is a web version enough to start with?

To get going, yes: with the Standard plan, fans open the web version from a link, with nothing to install. It is not on the App Store or Google Play, and it offers neither a paid fan club nor Automatic push. The Premium plan adds the iOS and Android apps.

People also ask us to play weddings: can the app take those requests?

Yes, with a Form: date, venue, number of guests, the kind of music they want. Each request reaches you by email and stays available in the back office. The app remains your fans' app; this form is just one section of it.
