Turn your content into a follow magnet
People visit your page. They listen, they scroll, they discover your world.
But too often, they leave without following.
Now you can give them a real reason to stay connected.
With Followers-Only content, you can make a track preview, an unreleased edit, a backstage moment, or an important announcement accessible exclusively to your followers. Instead of giving everything away publicly, you decide what’s reserved for the people who actively support you.
By offering exclusive content, you naturally encourage more visitors to follow you while strengthening the connection with the fans who already do.

One toggle. Big impact.
When you publish Music or News, simply activate “Only visible to followers.” From that moment on, your content becomes exclusive without changing the way you usually post.
Your followers feel rewarded for staying connected, and new visitors immediately understand that following you unlocks something special.
It’s a small change in how you publish, but it can make a real difference in how your audience grows and engages with your work.

Mark your external events as Sold Out
Other new feature: you can now mark your external events as Sold Out directly from your artist portal.
When editing an external event, simply enable “Event is sold out,” and the Sold Out label will instantly appear on your Artist Page.
This gives you a clean and accurate way to reflect your event status, even for shows hosted outside of Shotgun.

Your fans can now react with real emotion
After your show, fans can now react with real feelings: 🤩 ❤️ 🤘 🤯 🥲
And they can still leave a comment.
This feedback comes only from those who were actually present: the ticket buyers who attended the event.

Turn reactions into personal moments
You can now like a fan’s reaction and reply privately.
When you reply, they get a notification in the Shotgun app and see your message directly.
It’s a straightforward, personal moment shared between you and someone who was part of the show.

Now you know who your biggest supporters are
You can now identify your superfans with badges:
Top 1%, Top 3%, Top 5%
.These badges appear in your fan CRM and next to fan reactions. So when you reply to a reaction, you know exactly who you’re talking to.
You’ll unlock this feature once you’ve performed a minimum number of events sold on Shotgun.

Shotgun changes that.

Filter by city to see how many supporters you have and how engaged they are.
This is not another dashboard.
It’s a new foundation for your career, one where you
own your data
, understand your fans individually
, and can soon engage them directly
with tools made for you, not for algorithms.

Hey!
Starting today, you can now see
real reactions from fans
who came to your shows — directly in your Artist Portal.
Every time you perform at a Shotgun event (excluding large multi-artist events), fans who attended are invited to share a quick reaction and a short comment about your set. That feedback is sent to you privately, so you can read what resonated, what they loved, and how the night felt from their perspective.
✨ Fan reactions will appear right after your next Shotgun shows

Why we added this
The goal is simple:
To help you
connect more closely with your audience
and learn directly from the people who experienced your show.It’s a new way to:
- Collect post-show reactions from your fans
- Turn crowd energy into real insights
- Encourage fans to follow you after seeing you live
And this is just the beginning — more ways are coming to help you interact with your audience and grow your community on Shotgun.

🕵️ Private & for your eyes only
🔒 Fan reactions are
100% private
— they’re only visible to you.They won’t appear on your public Artist Page and won’t affect your visibility or ranking on Shotgun.
This is your space to
listen, learn, and grow
, without any pressure!----
