A revolution happened
Shotgun was born as a new generation of event organisers took control of the live music market, facing outdated ticketing providers that weren't built for this new creator economy.
Why Shotgun?
Like you, we love music. So we built an intuitive software and distribution platform that helps live event organisers grow their brand, manage their operations and build their community.
By drastically reducing the complexity of designing and marketing an event brand, Shotgun allows organisers to refocus on what truly matters to them: artistic direction and event production.
In a world where going out has become a lifestyle, the Shotgun app has become the go-to destination for young people to discover events, buy and resell tickets. Over the years, we've built a fast-growing community of users worldwide.
Once upon a time
Paris, 2014. An unlikely meeting between an introverted engineer, a southerner who throws parties, and a rock fan studying political science—united by a shared observation: "Paris is boring" and a desire to change that. A new creative generation was emerging, but there was no bridge to connect them with an eager audience.
Shotgun was born in the warehouses of the Parisian underground electronic scene, helping new artists and event creators grow from intimate crowds to thousands of fans. Early Shotgun users quickly embraced the product and shaped it alongside the scene.
Shotgun became the infrastructure between creators and the new generation of partygoers, evolving into an underground discovery platform.
