How to find concerts near me?

If you are a big fan of an artist, you’ll check their website frequently for their tour dates. You don’t want to risk having them come to a venue near you and not noticing it in time.

But what if you’re just in the mood for a concert but none of your favorite bands play in your area? How do you find a good concert with no particular artists in mind?

If you don’t live in a population center, your favorite A-lister is likely not coming to your town too often. So in that case, you’re going to face this “conundrum” frequently.

However, there are a number of websites and apps that can come to your help.

The popular ticket sales and distribution site, Ticketmaster has a discover feature. If you allow your device to share its location, you can select how far away you’re willing to travel. The site will list all available concert in that radius. You can also filter for genre and date. For dates, you can give your custom range for when it’s convenient for you.

Jambase is a lesser known website with a similar function. On that site, you can select your country in a side menu bar to see all the available concert listed there. You can further narrow the choices down to your city. Unlike Ticketmaster, you can’t buy tickets directly through Jambase. Instead, they redirect to what is likely an affiliate link of theirs.

Jambase gets a fraction of the traffic Ticketmaster gets, but that is because concert discovery is their primary feature. Ticketmaster, on the other hand, is mainly a ticket sales company.

As for apps, Bands in Town and Songkick are available for both Android and iOS.

Songkick gives you recommendations based on more than just your location. If you allow it, the app also scans your Spotify playlists and Facebook page likes to get a sense of your taste in music. It also gives you a list of popular artists you can choose to follow. You can pick 20. That way you’re sure to be notified if they come to play in your area.

You can create your very own concert calendar with this app. It also gives you artist recommendations based on your taste in music.

And, of course, we recommend you use our website, concerty.com, to look for concerts.

On the front page of our website, you can find a list of world-famous musical artists who are having concerts soon. You can also find upcoming shows filtered for your city or the musical genre you are into.

The “Popular on tour” tab on the top menu bar gives you a list of the world’s biggest music stars who are currently touring. Be it Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, Post Malone or Rammstein, you’re sure to know when their tour bus is on the way - you’ll see the text “ON TOUR” in a pink block superimposed over their profile picture.

Click on their profile and you’ll see some interesting information about your favorite artist, such as the top 10 most played songs by them in their last 40 concerts.
