However, until now, after passing on such precious knowledge, Songkick has had to surrender the ticket sales to companies like Ticketmaster. The service works by sending users a notification with impending artist visits for acts they’ve manually inputted, or listened to through integration with apps like Spotify or the BBC’s various platforms. We only show virtual events listed on Ticketmaster, Songkick, StageIt, NoCap, Mandolin, and.
The useful concert discovery app Songkick has always offered music fans an easy way to be notified when artists they enjoy are coming to town.
