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.

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. 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. It will be displayed in the middle of the Songkick Tourbox artist page: You can copy either the whole URL or just the numbers. Track your favorite artists and we’ll notify you as soon as they announce tour dates near you, with everything you need to buy tickets. The address of your Songkick page will appear in the URL bar looking something like: If you just created a new Songkick account you’ll see a similar looking URL, but without the band name. 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. Songkick makes it so easy to go to concerts.
