Songkick does make it easier to learn about local concerts, but ignorance is only part of the problem. From there the user is linked to the page at the ticketing provider, putting a potential ticket buyer two clicks away from the page that allows the actual ticket purchase. A button marked “tickets and more” links to the event’s page at Songkick. When a show is selected in the app, Songkick shows all performers on the bill, the name of the venue with its location highlighted in a Google Map, and some songs by the headliner. If the user has already registered for Songkick and created a profile with artists and preferred venues, the resulting concert listings will be even better. The Songkick app is simple: it scans the user’s Spotify library and matches the artists against concerts in its database. Spotify apps are available for both free and paying users on the Spotify desktop client. The integration of third-party apps into its desktop client adds tremendous value to a music service with few ways to make sense of its huge catalog outside of social cues taken from its Facebook integration. “We want more people to experience the thrill of seeing an amazing live show,” Songkick CEO Ian Hogarth said in a statement. While 100,000 new users represents just 2% of Songkick’s monthly visitors and 1% of Spotify’s active user base, Songkick is pleased with the level of activity. Spotify has over 10 million active users and Songkick gets over 5 million unique visitors each month. Silversun Pickups Announce Two SoCal Fall Shows
