How to register as an artist and get more bookings in the UK & Ireland
Talent alone does not fill a gig calendar — visibility does. Whether you are a DJ, singer, band or speciality act, the bookers who would love your show can only hire you if they can find you. Here is how to register as an artist and turn online searches into real, paid bookings.
Be where bookers are already searching
Every day, thousands of people across the UK and Ireland type phrases like 'book a DJ', 'hire a wedding band' or 'magician for corporate event' into Google. If your act does not appear in those results, the booking goes to someone who does. A dedicated artist profile on a booking platform is built to rank for exactly these searches — in your city, your country, or across all of Europe. That is the difference between waiting for word of mouth and having a steady stream of enquiries landing in your inbox.
Create a profile in 3 minutes — let AI do the writing
The biggest hurdle for most artists is the blank page: what do you write about yourself? On EntertainerShow you skip it entirely. Pick your category, add your name, city and a photo, and the AI writes a professional, search-optimised profile text for you. The whole process takes about three minutes and registration is completely free. You can edit every word afterwards, add videos and set lists, and update your profile as often as you like — no tech skills required.
Keep 100% of your fee — no commission, no middleman
Traditional agencies routinely take 15–25% of every booking, and some platforms add service fees on top. EntertainerShow works differently: bookers see your phone number and email and contact you directly. You negotiate your own price, agree your own terms and keep every penny. The platform charges only a flat annual subscription — and if you sign up before 31 December 2026, even that is free forever, including all Premium features. There has never been a better moment to build your visibility.
Choose your reach: free, national or all of Europe
Not every act tours, and not every act should pay for reach it does not need. That is why there are three simple packages. Free (€0) gets you listed with your email address — a foot in the door at no cost. National (€49/year) unlocks the full toolkit: an album with up to 15 photos, videos, your phone number and website, and a ranking above free profiles across your whole country. International (€99/year) is the game-changer: everything in National, plus your profile automatically translated into 8 languages and visible to bookers from Lisbon to Warsaw. For touring acts, that is a continent of work from a single page.
Make your profile impossible to ignore
Once you are live, small improvements make a big difference. Use a sharp, professional action photo — profiles with strong images get several times more enquiries. Mention the events you play (weddings, corporate parties, festivals) and the areas you cover, because that is what bookers search for. Add video: thirty seconds of live footage sells your act better than a thousand words. And reply to enquiries fast — the artist who answers first very often wins the booking.
