New Feature: Add a show!

As many of you know we are pretty much obsessed with having the biggest, baddest, most comprehensive, and complete database of concert tickets and information in the world so that fans of live music can find tickets to shows no matter how small the venue or obscure the artist.

To create our database, we aggregate tickets and information from over 60 ticketing companies in 140 countries, and that number is growing all the time.  While incredibly effective, we recognize this method is not 100% complete because not all shows are ticketed.

We hear from artists all the time about shows at warehouses, coffee shops, house parties, and even churches.  Some of the best performances we’ve ever seen have been at these non-traditional venues— most of which may have a cover at the door, but are not not formally ticketed.

Coinciding with our participation in the “New Musicians Toolbox” panel at the Future of Music Policy summit this week, we launched the newest feature to our site: an add a show page that enables artists, managers, labels, and venue owners to submit shows to Bandsintown, thus ensuring that artist pages reflect all shows, regardless of size, location, or ticketing status.

This is just one of several tools and capabilities we are working on to make it even easier for artists to keep fans in the know about upcoming tour info, stay tuned for more announcements in the near future.
