“I’m sad to write that on October 31, Songkick will bow to pressure from Live Nation and Ticketmaster and complete the shutdown of all ticketing operations (including the design and maintenance of artist webpages) we began earlier this year when Ticketmaster and Live Nation effectively blocked our U.S.
NYC-based Songkick isn’t making a quiet exit from the ticketing sector however, in the letter to artists and managers CEO Matt Johns used the opportunity to reveal it has bowed to pressure from larger figures in the industry. Once a concert is listed in Songkick Tourbox’s system, it’ll automatically get added to platforms including Spotify, SoundCloud, Deezer, and Hype Machine, among others. TIO understands Songkick‘s concert discovery service, including the database it pulls in concert information from, will not be affected. Thankfully though, Songkick’s integration with Spotify – where artists can use Songkick Tourbox to automatically list shows on a host of streaming services – won’t be affected.
