Same here. Most, if not all, bands/labels/party organizers I know are on FB. Even the more underground ones eventually switched. And last time I checked there was still no proper alternative (and the forums I used to frequent for that same goal are gone or close to dead, mostly because of FB). For me this is the key value of FB, the solcial aspect is close to non-existing for me, most of my 'friends' being blocked so their messages don't generate noise amongst the messages from bands I do want to see.
I do realize this makes me a bit of an outlier though: none of the typical science/articles about FB, like this one, applies to me because I'm not in it for the social part. I do understand it though; just like I'd urge hose who are like 'I got rid of FB and didn't miss it one moment' to realize that while it's possible that worked for you, some people just don't have that luxury of being able to easily quit. I'd also miss FB if it were to disappear tomorrow, but mainly because I'd had to spend time and search for a new practical tool which does the same as what I use it for now.
