GigPress is back! After years of being dormant, the WordPress plugin for managing live shows has been rebuilt from the ground up. Whether you relied on the original GigPress or are discovering it for the first time, GigPress Reborn brings everything you loved back to life — a modern gig listing and tour dates plugin, rebuilt for today’s WordPress.

Looking for a GigPress alternative or replacement? GigPress Reborn is the successor to the original GigPress plugin. Whether you are a musician, a band, a DJ, a comedian, a speaker… or any kind of performer, GigPress Reborn helps you manage and display your live shows using simple shortcodes.

The plugin uses native WordPress custom post types for Shows, Artists, Venues, and Tours, giving you a familiar editing experience with full support for revisions, trash, and bulk actions.
