Live karaoke and open-mic event platform

Your Stage.
Your Song.

k5e is a live event management platform for karaoke and open-mic shows. The k5e Spot mobile app lets performers join the queue from their phone and know exactly when they're up; the k5e Cue web dashboard runs the host's show.

How It Works

Two perspectives. One seamless experience.

For Hosts & DJs

  1. 1

    Create an event

    Set a name, venue, and time. Add your logo and colors. Generate a join link and QR code to share with your crowd.

  2. 2

    Go live

    Open the event and start taking requests. The queue builds itself as performers join from their phones.

  3. 3

    Run the show

    Drag to reorder, set the current act, skip, or remove entries. The display screen on your projector updates in real time.

  4. 4

    Review the night

    When the event ends, see how many acts went on, who performed the most, and how long the queue peaked.

For Performers

  1. 1

    Scan or tap

    Scan the QR code at the venue or tap the link the host shared. No app to download — it opens right in your browser.

  2. 2

    Pick a name

    Choose a display name for the night. It shows up in the queue so the host knows who's performing.

  3. 3

    Make a request

    Search the catalog and submit your request. You can queue up multiple entries while the event is running.

  4. 4

    Watch your spot

    See the live queue and your position in it. You'll know exactly when you're up — no more hovering by the stage.

Everything you need to run a great night

No paper slips. No spreadsheets. No shouting over the music.

Live Queue Management

Drag, drop, promote, or skip — the host controls every entry in real time. Set the current act, complete it with one tap, and the rotation updates automatically.

Instant QR Join

Performers scan a QR code or tap a link to join — no app download, no account required. Pick a display name and you're in the queue in seconds.

Catalog Search

Performers search by title or artist before submitting. Results pull from a live catalog so the request form fills itself — no more misspelled entries.

Smart Rotation

k5e's rotation algorithm ensures everyone gets a fair turn. Multiple requests per performer are spread out automatically — no manual juggling required.

Display Mode

Open a second browser window on any screen or projector. It shows who's currently performing, who's up next, and a QR code for latecomers — branded with your event's colors.

Custom Branding

Add your logo, a background image, and your color scheme. Every screen performers see — from the join page to the queue — reflects your venue's identity.

Common questions

What is k5e?

k5e is an entertainment event management platform. Hosts use a dashboard to run live events and manage the performance queue. Performers join from their phones, request their spot, and see their place in the queue in real time — no app download needed.

How do performers join an event?

The host shares a QR code or a link. Performers scan or tap, sign in to their k5e account (or create one in seconds with Google, Apple, or email), pick a display name, and they’re in. It runs in any mobile browser — no app install.

How do I sign in to k5e?

Create a k5e account with your email, or use Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple. When you choose Google, k5e receives your name and email address to create and identify your account — nothing more. k5e never posts to your account and does not access any other Google data.
