Your programme, on a poster
One click turns your upcoming events into a designed what's-on poster — your branding, ticket-status badges and a QR on every listing. Print it, post it, publish it to your GigXchange profile. Free with every venue profile.

How it works
From booked programme to poster on the wall in four short steps.
Events flow in
Your upcoming events arrive on the poster with dates, act names and ticket statuses — nothing retyped, nothing forgotten.
Make it yours
Pick a style and format, drop in your logo, choose a cover from the library or upload your own — with a live preview mirroring every change.
Print, post, publish
Download the high-res PNG for the wall and the feed, and publish to your public profile so artists and audiences see what's on.
Stays current
Statuses change, acts get added — reopen the saved poster and re-export in seconds. The version in circulation is never stale.
Everything on the poster
Built for rooms that program more nights than they have hands to promote them.
Your programme, postered
The poster builds itself from your upcoming events — dates, act names, statuses — in one click. Book a new act and the next export includes them.
4 styles, your branding
Modern, Bold, Minimal and Classic looks with your logo, accent colour and a cover image from the library or your own upload.
Wall, grid or story
Classic 4:5 for print, square for the Instagram grid, 9:16 story fitting a full 15-date programme — pick per poster, keep several saved.
A QR on every listing
The poster carries a main QR plus per-event QR codes to ticket links — the print on your wall is a point of sale, not just decoration.
Status badges that sell
On sale, last few, sold out — stamped per event. Sold-out badges do double duty as social proof for the dates still selling.
See it as you build it
A live preview pane mirrors every change — swap the cover, toggle the QR, reorder nothing by hand because the dates order themselves.
Publish to your profile
Save the poster to your public venue profile so artists scouting rooms and audiences planning nights see what’s coming up.
High-res PNG, no watermark
Download print-ready PNG for the wall and the feed. Saved posters stay editable — update statuses and re-export in seconds.
What makes a what's-on poster that fills rooms
The venue wall is your cheapest ad space — the habits that make it earn.
The poster is for people already in the room
The best audience for next Friday is the crowd having a good time this Friday. A current what's-on poster by the bar converts that goodwill on the spot — and a QR on each listing means "we should come to that" becomes a ticket before the round arrives. A stale poster does the opposite: it tells the room you stopped programming.
Status badges are your best copywriter
Nothing sells a Tuesday like sold out stamped on last Tuesday. The badges — on sale, last few, sold out — come straight from your listings, so the poster carries the urgency automatically. "Last few" moves fence-sitters; a run of sold-out nights is a reputation printed in pink.
One click or it doesn't happen
Every venue means to keep the what's-on poster current; almost none do, because rebuilding it in a design tool costs an hour nobody has. When the poster assembles itself from the programme, currency stops being a discipline and becomes a re-export. Book an act through Post a Gig or Find an Artist and the next poster already knows.
The profile is the poster that never comes down
Publishing the poster to your public GigXchange profile puts your programme where two audiences already look: punters planning a night, and artists deciding whether your room is worth pitching. A visibly busy programme is the strongest signal a venue can send the acts it wants to attract.
Print is not dead, it's just unmeasured — until now
The classic argument against wall posters is that you can't tell if they work. Per-event QR codes change that: scans are visits to ticket links, and the poster becomes a measurable channel. Pair it with the Flyer Builder for single-night pushes, and the Booking Manager to put your calendar on your own site. More on the venue side: GigXchange for venues.
