Get Your Geek On! Track Concerts and Tour Dates of Your Favorite Bands at Songkick

Advertisment

If you are like the founders of Songkick.com who are getting frustrated of tracking when your favourite bands would come to your town, then you would definitely appreciate what Songkick has to offer. What has grown up from their founders’ frustration is a comprehensive and useful portal for tracking concerts and tour dates of music bands.

Songkick is not only a database of concerts and tour dates but it is also a powerful search engine as it is an aggregator. Songkick’s search engine crawls 16 different ticket vendors in the US and UK and compiles a list of these concerts and tour dates to help Songkick users compare prices from different ticket outlets.

To maximize the use of Songkick, you should register an account and create your Songkick profile. That Songkick profile is your ticket to the great services that Songkick offers. It presents you with concert schedules, and track artists that you’re expecting to visit your town. Your Songkick profile also holds the different concerts you are interested with and the concerts that were suggested by Songkick based on your profile information and previously tracked bands and concerts.

When you found a concert event in Songkick’s database, you can see the exact location where it is going to be held via a location map provided by Google Maps. You will also be provided with a link to the ticket vendor who sells the ticket.

Songkick is a useful web application/service for those who are into attending concerts and party events. We have to admit that although can provide the same service through its localized search, still a portal made specifically for the purpose of tracking concerts and tour dates which facilitates the actual buying of tickets is always a welcome addition.
