Best apps for keeping up with local live music
Bandsintown; Gigbeat; Songkick Concerts
Bandsintown, like these other free apps, gives you a heads-up whenever favorite artists are due to play nearby, and it can identify those artists based on what’s in your digital music library. A unique feature—“probably the best show recommender” on a single screen—suggests shows by similar artists. (iOS and Android)
Gigbeat features a no-nonsense design. It also lets you track shows in distant cities—“travelers, take note”—and provides audio alerts to notify you of just-announced shows. (Android only)
Songkick Concerts is possibly the best choice for iTunes or Spotify users, because it tracks the artists you listen to using those apps. (iOS and Android)
