The announcement also notes that one of Blinov’s first jobs in his new role is to oversee a “pivot to the forefront of the virtual live events space”, in the continued Covid-19 pandemic. Right now, more than 15 million music fans across the globe use Songkick to track their favorite artists, discover concerts and buy tickets with confidence. From day one, we’ve set about making it as easy, fun and fair as possible for you to see your favorite artists live. This would just be a regular executive announcement, but we spotted an interesting figure in the press release: the description of Songkick as “the platform that helps 175 million music fans annually track their favourite artists, discover concerts and buy tickets”.Īnnual active users isn’t our favourite metric – monthly would be better – but it’s still a useful reminder that Songkick is very much alive and kicking under WMG’s ownership. Songkick has been a trusted home for live music since 2007. WMG is also continuing to invest in Songkick: today, for example, it announced the appointment of a VP of technology for the division: a promotion for Alexey Blinov, who’s been working at Songkick since 2014 as a software developer. One user account can manage multiple artist pages. As with Facebook, you'll need a personal user account to manage an artist's page. You can sign up with any email address and your user account and artist pages are separate and can be named as you like.
Warner Music Group bought the Songkick app and website in July 2017, and has continued to run it since as a way for people to find out when artists they like are playing concerts near them. Create your Songkick account with Tourbox here.
