Beta closed · Preparing for launch
Thank you.
To every artist, venue, promoter and crew member who tested the beta, who ran real gigs through it, reported the bugs, sat through the calls and told us the truth. ILLSET is sharper because of you.
The trial group is closed while we prepare for launch. The next intake is opening day: book gigs, find artists and fill venues across New Zealand and Australia. Pre-register and you're in the first wave, before the public announcement.

What is ILLSET?
ILLSET is a live music platform that puts artists, venues and promoters in the same place. Instead of chasing gigs through DMs, group chats, spreadsheets and unanswered emails, you search the network by location, genre or capacity, send a booking request, and keep every detail like dates, fees, riders and contacts in one shared thread both sides can see.
When a booking is confirmed it becomes a public event listing on What's On, so the show promotes itself to local fans the moment it's locked in. Artists and DJs find work, venues fill their calendar, promoters build line-ups faster, and fans get a straight answer on what's happening near them. ILLSET launches in New Zealand first, then Australia.
By the industry, for the industry
What the beta group said after using it
“In this industry, 99% of people you meet are insanely creative and have the drive to innovate, hustle and build. Being able to access a one-stop-shop platform will explode Artists, Promoters, Agents and anyone looking to be a part of the scene, into a world of order and streamline. You're mad to just grow yourself in a world of chaos, do it with ease and simplicity.”
QuixDJ & producer · NZ“This is going to have such a positive effect on our events team! Not only will it save us money on time, it'll open up new revenue streams and streamline our workflows.”
Finn'sVenue · NZ“This software is set to revolutionize the music industry, especially for DJs and producers. It empowers creators to push the boundaries of their craft and reach larger audiences, while also supporting artists and ensuring they are compensated for their hard work. I'm sure it will become an essential resource for anyone serious about shaping a career in the future of music.”
KayesArtist · NZ“One of the things lacking in New Zealand is easy access to information regarding events, DJs, music and everything else related to this side of the industry. Social media algorithms can only do so much and you're still mixed in with everything else. Having something specific to this line of work is absolutely key to moving this industry to the next level. To say I'm excited for this project is an understatement.”

Common questions
ILLSET, answered
What is ILLSET?
ILLSET is a live music platform for artists, venues and promoters. You search the network by location, genre or capacity, send and accept booking requests in one thread, and every confirmed gig turns into a public What's On listing that promotes itself.
When does ILLSET launch?
The site is offline while we prepare for launch across New Zealand and Australia. Pre-registered users are emailed first, before the public announcement.
Do I keep my old profile and account?
Yes. Every profile, account and piece of data created during the beta is safe. Your existing login will work again as soon as the site launches. Nothing needs to be recreated.
Does it cost anything to pre-register?
No. Pre-registering is free and only takes your name, email and whether you're an artist, venue, promoter or fan. We use it to email you at launch, nothing else.
What does pre-registering actually get me?
You get the launch email before anyone else, so you can claim your profile, set your calendar and start booking the moment the doors open. Pre-registered artists, venues and promoters get first pick of the network before the public flood in.
Who is ILLSET for?
Artists and DJs looking for gigs, venues filling their calendar, promoters building line-ups, and fans who want to see what's on locally. It launches in New Zealand first, then Australia.
Be first back in.
