Shows for bands
Gigs is the plural of gig, a word with several meanings.
Most commonly, a gig is a live performance by musicians: The band has three gigs this weekend.
By extension, any job or engagement: freelance gigs, side gigs.
In computing, gig is short for gigabyte: My phone has 128 gigs of storage.
A gig is also a light two-wheeled carriage, or a pronged spear for fishing.
