You know those people who always seem to know about a band before everyone else? The people who somehow attend every concert within a 10-mile radius of their home? They don’t have personal agents feeding them information — they have these tools. Check them out for yourself and you too will be a music insider.
Songkick is a concert discovery tool that makes sure you never miss a show. All you do is create or import a list of your favorite artists, and you’ll get an email whenever they’re in town. You can also adjust your settings so you’re notified of every concert happening in your city — not just the artists you choose. Say goodbye to concert FOMO for good.
Jukely is a subscription service that gives users access to a pool of shows for $25/month. Considering most concert tickets are at least $25, this app is what a music lover’s’ dreams are made of. Users can add themselves to a show’s guest list on a rolling three-day basis, show up at the venue and simply say their name to gain entry. In one month, you’ll get to see more shows than you’ve probably ever seen, all at the touch of a button — literally.
When you’re sick of what’s on the radio, Parola is there to help. It’s a service that lets you create your own music, regardless of your musical abilities. Through technology, users can record sounds, pair them with pre-recorded tracks and publish their creations. The platform is a great way to live the life of a musician without ever picking up an instrument.
Bkstg is a platform that brings fans closer to their favorite artists. Users can find a band’s newly released tracks, see a list of their upcoming performances and buy merchandise all in one spot. You’ll see what others are saying about them and even get to participate in super fan challenges. It takes fandom to a whole other level.
