You may know the Shazam app, owned by Apple, for its ability to recognize songs and artists. But a new update to the app for iOS now also helps you “explore upcoming live music shows.” This comes from a Shazam integration with Bandsintown. Apple and Shazam said the new feature will help increase exposure for artists.
Songkick Concerts — Music — Free
Like live music? Got an iOS device full of music? Songkick Concerts looks like the app for you, then, as it trawls your music library to find concerts in your area. Be the first one to grab tickets to hot events, all based on your own music preferences. Sounds good, right?
If you’re traveling to a new city, never fear, as you can use Songkick Concerts to search your destination for upcoming concerts from those very same artists. Want to see Kanye West in Madison Square Garden? I mean, who wouldn’t? Use this app to find out when and where he’s playing, and tap through to buy tickets right within the app itself.
Of course, you’ll want to use Songkick Concerts to bargain shop as well, since it lets you compare venues and prices for all the artists you must obviously want to go see, since they’re in your music library.
We might be geeks, but we do, contrary to popular belief, like to go outside sometimes and do things. Now while I just got back from Chicago Comic Con, you might like to go to a concert or ball game (nothing beats a baseball game in the summer).
This is a short and sweet post because the deal speaks for itself: ScoreBig: Get $30 Worth of Sports, Concert & Theater Tickets for Only $7!. Head over, pick up the deal, and head out somewhere (I suggest a Red Sox game, but that’s just me). Done.
