Turn requests into tips, without leaving the stage

NextSongUp is a song request and tipping app for gigging musicians. Fans scan one QR code to pick a song, upvote requests, and tip with a dedication. You approve, reorder, and mark songs played from your phone, with chord charts one tap away.

Built for gig night

Every feature is made to be read in the dark, from the stage, on one thumb.

Mid-set at a corner gig — the chart you wrote once is one tap from the mic.

Chord charts, built in

Write chords-above-lyrics charts in the catalog editor, then read them mid-show with transpose, capo-aware keys, and auto-scroll. No chart saved? Ultimate Guitar is still one tap away.

Fees sit on top of the tip — you receive the full amount the fan tipped.

Estimates only, using today's platform fee (8% of each tip, minimum $0.50, maximum $3) and card processing (2.9% + 30¢). Artists pay no monthly fee — ever. Actual fees can vary with the card used, and nothing here is a promise of future earnings.
