Whatever you play. Rawkon.

Songs you can read from the stand. Setlists that know what you've played. Requests and tips from the room. And the stats from every gig, so the next one's better.

One email when it's your turn. Nothing else.

Rawkon gig view on a tablet with the song requests panel open: Chasing Cars has 3 requests and is up next, Hey There Delilah 2, Wild Horses 1, each with Not tonight, Queue and Play next.
  1. A request lands

  2. Play it next

  3. Marked played

Not a tip jar. The whole gig.

Requests and tips are in there. So is everything else you need from soundcheck to load-out, in one app that runs on the tablet already on your stand.

Songs you can read from the stand.

Clean lyrics and chords, big enough to read at arm's length in a dark room. Nothing on screen you don't need mid-song.
  • Chords over lyrics, lyrics with cues, or just the running order.
  • Scroll or page through, your fonts and colours.
  • Keeps working offline when the venue Wi‑Fi doesn't.
More on performing

Know what's next before the applause stops.

Your sets, your running order and the room's requests in one list. Tap a song played and Next moves on by itself.
  • Mark songs played, partial or skipped as you go.
  • Requests and tips come in by QR code; the most-wanted rise to the top.
  • Play it next, queue it, or not tonight. Your call, one tap.

You haven't played Billie Jean in fifteen months.

Rawkon remembers every gig, so you can see what's gone stale before the next one, not halfway through it.
  • Needs Practice lists the songs you've let slide.
  • Every gig gets a report: what you played, when, and what was requested.
  • Play history across every act you play in.
More on stats and history

Make it yours.

No two stages are lit the same, and no two players read the same way. Set Rawkon up for your eyes, your songs and your room, and it stays set.
  • Songs in your style
    Your font, size, spacing and colours for lyrics, chords and cues, on whatever background you read best.
  • Cues you can't miss
    Give your cues their own colour and size, so "band out" never hides in the lyrics.
  • The app in your colours
    Pick the accent, the neutral tones and how rounded it all looks, in light or dark.
  • Every version of a song
    The acoustic take and the full-band one, each with its own key, capo, tuning and tempo.
  • Read it your way
    Scroll or page through, and turn pages with a page turner or the keyboard.
  • A QR code that looks like your act
    Set the shapes and colours of the code the room scans, or take the logo off.

The couple picks. You play.

For weddings and private events, send your client a private link to your list. They mark what to play and what to skip, add their moments, from the entrance to the last song, and it all shows up in your gig view on the night. Their picks lock at your cut-off, and a don't-play song can't be requested by the room.

“I built Rawkon to run my own gigs: a solo covers night one week, a TOOL tribute the next. Every screen on this page is from my account.”
