Amsterdam – September 19, 2026 -- ABOSS, the Amsterdam-based operating system for live music, said roughly $1 billion in deal value is moving through its platform this year, while artist-owned records account for just 4% of that volume.

Booking agencies still run deals through email and spreadsheets, ABOSS founder says

"After all those years, deals are still made on relationships, and they're still being executed in chaos," said Arvid Silos, founder of ABOSS. "If your data lives in inboxes and spreadsheets, you're leaving margins on the table."

ABOSS has spent a decade building infrastructure to connect booking agencies, artists, managers and crews on a single structured record, covering contracts, financial tracking, planning and pre-production.
