I've been in search of a tool like this for a while! Good find!

Songkick is a nice site that lets you track your favourite artists, local location, nearby locations or your favourite locations and when this is done it keeps you updated and lets you know about upcoming gigs, from big acts to local acts it lets you know when and where they are playing and who is playing! Pretty handy for the avid gig-goer and even for the hermit, who's fancy is tickled when the moon is blue for an auld head-bang in the town!

It's also a great tool for artists though. Firstly enter the name of your band and click the correct thumbnail that is your band. Here's an example of how to set up an artist page:-

Find your artist page and start managing your tour dates

Once that is done follow the next steps:-


  1. Fans can now see your tour dates on your SoundCloud profile. Add or update events through Tourbox and they’ll update on SoundCloud as well.

 That's it, pretty simple and completely FREE. It's even easier to sign up as a fan rather than an artist. Brilliant! 10/10 tool! Check it out here:- https://www.songkick.com/home
