GX Arena FAQs

How the GX Arena stage works, who plays on it and how to book an act you hear - answered from the live line-up.

What is GX Arena?

GX Arena is a live 3D venue on GigXchange where real UK acts play one after another. Each act's photos go up on the screens, their own top song plays on the sound system and the lights follow the music, so a booker can hear an act properly before getting in touch. Right now 44 acts are in the line-up.

Which acts play on the GX Arena stage?

Every GigXchange artist whose public profile has a profile photo, three gallery photos and a hosted song. Nobody is picked by hand and nobody pays to appear: an act that meets the rule joins the line-up automatically, and test accounts never do. Today that is 44 acts from across the UK.

Is GX Arena free to use?

Yes. Listening is free and needs no account, on any computer with a modern browser. Saving an act to your favourites, messaging them and sending a booking offer need a free GigXchange account, which also gives venues and promoters a profile of their own. How GigXchange works explains the rest.

How do I book an act I hear in GX Arena?

Press Book on the player while the act is on stage, or open their profile from the line-up below and send an offer. You deal with the act direct, with no agency in the middle, and paid bookings can go through GigXchange's protected payments. Post a gig if you would rather acts came to you.

Why does GX Arena need a computer?

The venue is a live 3D scene, with lighting, holograms and camera cuts that follow each song, and it is built for a desktop or laptop screen for now. On a phone the stage is not shown, but every act in the line-up is still one tap away through their GigXchange profile, with the same songs and photos.

How does an artist get on the GX Arena stage?

Finish your GigXchange profile: a profile photo, three gallery photos and at least one song you host on GigXchange. The moment all three are in place you join the line-up for every venue, agent and promoter who walks in. GigXchange for artists shows what else a finished profile brings.

Where can I find bands to book for my venue?

GX Arena is the fastest way to hear UK acts back to back, and every act in it can be booked direct. To search the whole membership by city, genre and fee, browse all UK artist profiles, or read the guide to finding and hiring local bands for your venue.

Book the acts you hear

Every act in GX Arena can be messaged and booked direct, with no agency in the middle. A free GigXchange account covers favourites, messages and offers - and gives your venue or event a profile of its own.
