The Problem
Young people (18–25) are the UK’s biggest concert-goers, but over 65% have faced the classic “go solo or skip it?” dilemma.
Busy lives, clashing music tastes, or social anxiety = missed gigs. Too many gig plans lost just because no one else can make it.
The Solution
Gigunite - the first music social networking app.
Powered by Spotify & sponsored by Ticketmaster, it connects you and your friends through music, and even helps plan your next concert.
No more FOMO. Just good times, great music, with your crowd.
GigUnite’s UI is inspired by Spotify’s current branding, with a retro, 90s rave style, appealing to Gen Z’s love of nostalgia.
