Loadout - Run Your Shows

Run your whole show from one app — synced setlists and a stage-ready chord view for solo acts and full bands alike. Track gigs, take requests, and collect tips.

Loadout runs your live show — from the first rehearsal to the last encore, on stage and off. Solo performer or five-piece band, it pulls your songs, setlists, gigs, and the stage itself into one place, so you can stop juggling apps, paper charts, and group texts and just play.

THE STAGE VIEW — CHARTS BUILT FOR LIVE The heart of Loadout is a chord-and-lyric view designed for a dark room and a fast tempo: big, legible type you can read from the mic stand. Tap to advance or let it scroll for you. Transpose to any key, drop a capo, and size the text to your eyes — your settings are yours and never change anyone else's. The screen stays awake so your chart never blacks out mid-song.

PLAY IN SYNC — THE WHOLE BAND ON THE SAME PAGE Start a shared session and your entire band follows the same chart in real time, on their own phones and tablets. The leader changes a song and everyone moves together — no "what's next?", no flipping pages out of order. Follow mode tracks the singer's line so the band stays locked in, and a built-in metronome — with an optional in-ear click the leader can broadcast — keeps everyone honest.

SETLISTS IN SECONDS Drag songs into order, add breaks and notes, and you've got a setlist ready for the stage. Duplicate a set for the next room, build templates for the kinds of gigs you play, and lean on the smart "All songs" set that always mirrors your full catalog. Watch your set's total run time as you build so you never blow the slot.

YOUR CATALOG, ORGANIZED Keep every chart in one searchable library — chords, lyrics, key, tempo, duration, energy, tags, and private notes on each song. Bring your existing catalog with you: import from BandHelper and OnSong, or paste a chart and go. When a request comes in, find any song instantly.

GIGS & BOOKINGS, HANDLED Track every date from inquiry to "played": venue, load-in, set times, pay, deposit, and expenses — with the night's profit calculated for you. A clean calendar shows the month at a glance so you always know what's next.

TAKE REQUESTS FROM THE ROOM Switch on a public request page for a gig and fans ask for songs from their own phones. Requests land in a live queue you work through on stage — mark them played or pass — and your phone can buzz the moment one arrives.

GET TIPPED Let your audience tip the band right from the show, paid out to your account. Want to keep it simple? Log the night's cash tips yourself and watch your totals grow over time.

KNOW WHAT'S WORKING After the show, rate each song and capture the crowd's reaction, then compare two nights side by side. Over time you'll know your strongest opener, your reliable closer, and the songs worth retiring.

WHO PLAYS WITH LOADOUT Cover and tribute bands working a full calendar. Wedding and function bands who need the night to run like clockwork. Worship teams sharing one chart across the platform. Solo and duo acts who want their whole catalog in their pocket. Originals projects tightening the set before a run of dates. If you play live, Loadout fits.
