Who we are
Songkick
is the largest concert discovery service and artist-to-fan ticketing
platform in the world. Our goal is to help artists sell more tickets
directly to their fans and fix the central problem at the heart of the
concert industry – that 50% of tickets go unsold. Working with over 500
artists and ticketing thousands of events worldwide each year, we’re
working to make every show a sellout.
Songkick delivers
personalized alerts for upcoming concerts to its 10 million monthly
unique fans, making it easy for these fans to track their favorite
artists so they never miss them live.
Our company has also powered
worldwide programs for some of the world’s biggest artists, including
Adele, Metallica, Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons, Kenny Chesney, and
Ellie Goulding, creating the ultimate artist experience by linking fans
through innovative ticketing technology and marketing solutions.
With
offices strategically positioned in London, Los Angeles, Nashville, and
New York, Songkick combines technology and expertise to make the
concert experience better for artists and fans alike.
