Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Payment must be completed in order to secure the booking. So, you pay at the time of booking. If you choose to cancel after paying, you will receive an appropriate refund based on our Cancellation Policy.
When you pay for a performer, you’ll be charged a small fee on top of the performer’s fee, which can be anywhere from 2-5% of the total gig price. This is to cover critical costs on our end such as Stripe fees and other service fees.
Once you’ve made an account, you can swipe through relevant performers and instant message any that you think would be a great match. Then, simply communicate, negotiate on a fee, fill in any other requests, and book!
We accept most major cards.
You can cancel a booking directly from the events page. Our cancellation policy can be found on our website.
Our performers are the best of the best. As soon as you find a performer you like, book right away to avoid them being scooped up for another event!
Sure! Any requests you have should be communicated directly to the performer and included when creating an offer.
- 3-pc band: 3 x 3 metres
- 4-pc band: 4 metres wide by 3 metres deep
- 5 & 6-pc band: 5 metres wide by 3 metres deep
- 7-pc and up: 6 metres wide by 4 metres deep
Usually, the performer will arrive anywhere from 30-90 minutes before the gig depending on the size of the event. If you are unsure of how much time the band needs, ask them!
Not to worry. One great thing about Klank is the ability to see reviews and ratings from past hosts on a performer’s profile. This will give you an idea of what they are like both as musicians and clients. Additionally, every performer has to upload photos and videos from past performances so that you can get an idea what they sound like. If the photos and videos which they have uploaded don’t answer all of your questions, feel free to reach out to the performer directly and ask.
Is the sky blue? Ratings and reviews are a critical part of our service. Whether you’re a performer or event host, it’s important to know what to expect when you book a gig. That’s why we allow users to leave reviews after the performance and rate the other party based on a number of factors including safety, skill, and reliability.
Reviews and ratings are one way to determine an event host and/or performer’s reliability. However, it is down to the person hosting the event to ensure that there is a safe place for the performance to occur. This includes having a reliable power source (if required), crowd control (if the event is large enough), and a suitable stage/setup space. This is included in the Terms of Booking.
Yes! You can manage as many events as you would like and have multiple active bookings at the same time. You might even get a badge for doing so :)
Yes! We highly recommend keeping all communication within our in-app messaging system to prevent the sharing of confidential information. As in all things, communication is key, so the more you can understand the performer’s needs (and vice versa) before the gig, the better.
Absolutely. Events can be either public or private, with the option of listing public events on our interactive map (so fans can find and attend your event).
Yup. As you are creating an event, you can specify what kind of music you’re looking for, the size of the band, the location, and other details about the event. This will help ensure you get the perfect act for your event.
In the rare event that there is a disagreement, event hosts or performers can file a dispute directly through the app– just make sure to do it within 3 business days of the gig end. For any comments or concerns, you are always welcome to email us at info@klank.co.uk
Once 3 working days have passed since the gig date (to allow for any complaints or disputes to be addressed), you will be able to claim your fee.
Feature coming soon! As a host or performer, you will be awarded badges for achieving certain milestones, including simply making an account on the platform! The more time you spend using Klank (and interactions you have, such as bookings), the quicker you’ll obtain badges and experience.
We are forced to take a little slice of the pie from the overall gig fee in order to keep our amazing services up and running, and of course to develop new features along the way. Before the performer claims their fee, we remove a small commission.
Klank was built by performers, for performers, and we understand what it’s like to receive unfair compensation for the talent you provide. Our competitors either charge an expensive subscription or take a commission of anywhere from 15-25% of the overall gig fee. Do you really want to give a quarter of your earnings away? Didn’t think so. We take the minimum required to make Klank a premium but affordable service, and this means that as a host and performer you’ll be paying far less than anywhere else.
That’s what we do, baby. No more wondering what to do on a Friday night. With our interactive map, you can filter through events happening right on your doorstep (for free!) so that you’re always that one friend who has a great night planned.
We are still in the early stages of our platform, and currently there is no way to purchase tickets directly through the app (coming soon though!). However, fans can RSVP or mark themselves as ‘interested’ on local events.
- 1. Confidentiality. Apart from your name and any other information you have on your profile, you can remain confidential while negotiating with event hosts. No need to share your phone number, email, or even show your face until the gig is booked and payment has been processed.
- 2. Cancellation policy. Stay protected in the event that an event host cancels at the last minute. We hold on to the booking fee until the gig is complete to protect both parties in the event of cancellations.
- 3. Low fees. We charge a lower commission than any of our competitors– full stop. This is the bare minimum needed to give you the best service possible.
- 4. Get paid on time. Always. No more waiting to get paid for a gig you played months ago and having to track down the event host to get your money. Event hosts are forced to pay before the gig, and you can claim your payment just 3 days after the event has occurred.
- 5. Automatic contracts. By accepting an offer, you enter into a contract with the event host which protects you in the event that they change their mind at the last minute or pull some other sneaky move. Don’t worry– we’ve got you covered.
- 6. Build a reputation. Okay, I’m sure your Instagram page looks great. But it’s time to build a real reputation with consistently good performances. Earn badges, collect rewards, and make sure to impress because good reviews go a long way!

- 7. Ease of use. Klank couldn’t get much simpler. Our intuitive platform makes finding music for your event as easy as possible.

- 9. Contracts. When both parties accept an offer, they are required to accept our Terms of Booking, which acts as a booking contract. This gives you utmost peace of mind in the event that there is a dispute of any kind.
