Three months in: 608 festival pages, 13 languages, and what a summer of festivals taught me
When Gigvault launched here in June it was a concert diary with one promise: log a show, and the setlist, venue and full lineup fill themselves in. Three months and one festival summer later, here is what actually changed, with numbers you can check on the site.
Festivals, stage by stage. There are now 608 festival pages with 2026 lineups, from Glastonbury and Hellfest down to small club weekenders. You open the festival, mark the acts you actually stood in front of, and each one becomes its own logged show with its own setlist. A three-day weekend takes about ten minutes to enter and counts as fifteen or twenty sets in your stats, not one line that says you were there. That was the most requested thing after launch, and it is the reason the app finally makes sense for people whose concert year is two festivals and not twenty club shows.
Openers count. Support acts are logged as separate shows and appear in your artist stats. If you saw a band three times as an opener before they headlined, Gigvault knows that. Nothing else I have tried does.
The data underneath. 7,426 artist pages, 2,173 venues and 713 city pages are live, each with upcoming shows and, for past shows, the setlists. Concert history covers 82 countries; Germany alone has 3,754 tracked shows, the US 1,823, the UK 1,751. If your city or festival is missing, the page tells you and you can add it from inside the app.
Thirteen languages. The whole app runs in English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Czech, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish. Seven of them have their own landing pages and a blog; the rest follow. Android is live next to iOS, and the web app works without a download.
Wrapped, after every show. Total shows, unique bands, cities, minutes live, most-seen artist, top venue: it rebuilds the moment you log something, not once in December. Festival weekends show up as their own block.
Still free, still no ads, still no algorithm in the social part; connections are mutual only. Pro is $2.99 a month for monthly Wrapped and deeper stats, and nothing about your own history sits behind it.
What I want from you: if you went to a festival this summer, did you log it anywhere, and if not, what stopped you? Too many acts, no time, did not care until later? That answer decides what I build next, so I would rather hear the honest version.
