Bandsintown was recently featured in the June issue of Rolling Stone! NBD (no big deal). Here is a bit of what they had to say,

"There are hundreds of sites that post concert listings, but bandsintown.com offers the easiest way to find a show that’s best suited to your budget and schedule. Choose tour dates, distance from home, ticket price and type of artist, from indie acts to arena bands, and the site will plan your nights out."


It's great to see some of the giants in the music industry starting to take notice of Bandsintown!!!

BIT now with Music, Videos, and Photos!

We've added some great new media features at BIT to make it even easier to discover the best shows in your area. On top of your customized show recommendations we are making it easier to actually sample these artists.

This is a great feature for people looking for new music or unfamiliar with artists touring with bigger acts.



We have also included live video performances and images for every artist. These live videos and images can be found on the profile page of any artist or by clicking on the media link on an artist profile.
