GIGXCHANGE Platform Updates — What We Ship, Month by MonthThe home for every GIGXCHANGE platform update — monthly release roundups for the UK live music marketplace, newest first

TL;DR. Platform Updates hub

This is the home for every GigXchange platform update — the monthly roundup of what shipped on the UK live music marketplace, newest first. The latest is June 2026 (v0.3.2): a full electronic press kit and promo generators, premium app polish, GDPR account deletion, rebuilt venue tools, and the new GX Index rates pillar.

Want the granular, as-it-ships changelog instead of the monthly story? That lives on the Release Notes page. This hub is the narrative index; Release Notes is the running log.

It is free to join and free to browse, with 0–8% commission versus the roughly 20% a traditional agency takes.

Annual refresh commitment

This guide was published on 6 June 2026 and is refreshed every June. This hub is updated every time a new monthly platform update ships, so annual verification matters. We re-verify every reference, recommendation, and data point once a year. Next scheduled refresh: June 2027. If any claim is outdated before then, email hello@gigxchange.app and we will update it within 24 hours.
