Tuning the vibes...
PlugVerse is loading your next gig.
Our Mission
Booking local talent is still chaotic — messy DMs, flaky payments, and no trusted way to connect artists with venues.
“Make booking local talent as easy, secure, and fun as posting on social media.”
PlugVerse fixes that by becoming the central hub where artists and venues can find each other, chat, sign contracts, and get paid — all in one place.
