Bandsintown

Bandsintown is a concert discovery platform that connects fans with live music events through a REST API for accessing artist event listings, venue information, and fan notification management. The platform serves as the largest database of upcoming concert listings and concert tickets, enabling artists, developers, and partners to display tour dates, retrieve artist metadata, filter events by date range, and drive fan engagement through RSVP and notification tracking. API access requires an app_id parameter obtained through the Bandsintown for Artists account settings or via a partnership request for broader integration use cases.

Bandsintown publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: artist events API and artist information API. Tagged areas include concerts, live music, events, artists, and venues.

The Bandsintown catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Bandsintown’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, and 12 more developer resources.
