I think this is a really interesting idea. Spotify has a feature where you can see if an artist is going to be playing near your location by going to the artist's page and going to the 'concert' tab. However, I don't think they have one to go the other way i.e "find all artists performing in one location"
Someone at the SXSW Hackathon two weeks ago worked on a similar thing [1]. The difference in their project was that it looked at the artists you listened to and then created a list of artists that you would know who would be coming to the venue.
I like your idea in that you're creating a channel for people to discover new bands.

- slashblake 9y agoHey thanks for the info. And yeah, I just wanted to provide a different way to discover new music instead of some algorithm. I think a venue’s calendar is just another nice way to do this. Enjoy.
- toomanybeersies 9y agoSpotify does give you gigs in your area. You go to browse, and then the "concerts" tab. You can't change the location though, it's based off device location.
- zeus_hammer 9y agoYou can search by city in both the mobile app and desktop app to take a look at concerts outside of your area. Really handy. They mostly show only artists who you listen to frequently/genres you like
- toomanybeersies 9y agoYou're right. There's a great big button you can click to change your location. I guess I've just never clicked it so I forgot about it.
