Free Tools for Bands & Promoters
Everything here is free to use (downloading a logo, a poster or a patch pack needs a free account) and is built on the same live gig data behind our listings. Made for the people who actually put shows on — bands naming themselves, promoters announcing a bill, venues who want their calendar on their own site.

Build a widget
Checking out a band
For anyone wondering whether the act in their feed is real.
Why we built these
Every one of these started as something we were doing by hand. A promoter would email asking for a poster template. A band would ask whether their name clashed with someone on the listings. A venue wanted their dates on their own site without re-typing them every week. Rather than answer one at a time, the answer became a page.
If you are starting a band
Run the name generator for ideas in your genre, put the shortlist through the name checker to see what is already taken, turn the winner into a logo with the band logo maker, then build a free press kit to send to promoters. That is the whole path from an idea to something you can email a venue, and none of it costs anything. Once you have played a listed show you will have a page here too — claim it and the press kit builds itself from your dates.
If you are putting a show on
The gig poster maker turns a lineup into Instagram, story and print-ready artwork in about a minute, and it can prefill from any gig already listed on Moshradar. Start from one of the gig poster templates if you'd rather not begin with a blank page, or sketch the bill first in the dream festival lineup maker, which hands the finished lineup straight to the poster maker. If you run the venue or promote regularly, the events widget puts your whole calendar on your own website and keeps it current on its own.
If you are checking out a band
Found an act in your feed with big streaming numbers and no trace of a tour? Run them through Is This Band AI? — it weighs their live history in our gig database, their back catalogue and their MusicBrainz record, and shows you the evidence rather than a verdict. Real bands play shows, and shows leave a trail; that is the one thing a generated act cannot fake.
What we get out of it
Honestly: the posters carry a small Moshradar credit, the widget links back to us, and bands who build a press kit here tend to keep their listing up to date — which makes the gig guide better for everyone reading it. That is the entire business case. There is no upsell behind any of these.
Questions
Are the Moshradar tools really free?
Yes: no trial and no watermark fee, and a free account to download what you make. They exist because Moshradar lists gigs, and the people putting those gigs on need posters, names, press kits and listings. Building the tools is cheaper than advertising to them.
Do I need an account to use them?
To use them, no: all 8 work signed out. To download a logo, a poster or a patch pack, yes, a free one. It also keeps what you make in My designs, drops the Moshradar credit from posters, and claiming your artist page lets you edit the bio and contact details that show up on your EPK.
Can I use what I make commercially?
Yes. Posters you generate are yours — print them, sell tickets with them, post them anywhere. You are responsible for holding the rights to any artwork you upload, and a clear result from the name checker is a strong signal rather than legal advice.
What data are the tools built on?
The same database behind the listings: 5550 upcoming shows across 84 UK cities, 5093 venues and 13444 artists, aggregated from several ticketing sources and refreshed daily. That is what lets the widget stay current and the poster maker prefill straight from a real gig listing.
