Bandsintown is where artist teams post their own tour dates and fans follow the acts they want to see live. We turn those public pages into one clean feed of dates, lineups, sellers and follower counts.

ScrapeIt collects Bandsintown data as a managed service, and the platform calls for one: artist, event and city pages, and even the sitemap files, sit behind a browser challenge, so anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving come built into the work. To scrape Bandsintown at market scale we walk the artist, venue and city indexes of the sitemap plus the festival lists, and slice cities by date window and genre; we extract Bandsintown data such as seller rows straight from the event page. Records are keyed on event id, lineups fold into one row per night, venue names and genre tags are normalized, and artists join MusicBrainz through the mbid where one is set. No sign-in and no fan pages. Output lands in your warehouse, as JSON, CSV or XLSX files, or behind an endpoint you query like an event data API.
Every show is a record with its own numeric id at /e/ plus that number, and every performer has one too: the 128 in /a/128-metallica is the artist id. Bandsintown concerts in London, NYC or Chicago sit on city pages - /c/london-united-kingdom, /c/new-york-ny, /c/chicago-il - cut by date window and genre, and London, Ontario is /c/london-on. Bandsintown festivals sit under /f/, listed by month and country; a festival on Bandsintown Pro, sold from $749 per edition, gets a verified page and one event record per set on its lineup. One event record holds:
The artist card adds the verified badge, follower count, upcoming show count, genres, hometown, members, bio, streaming and social links with MusicBrainz, and a Fans Also Follow list.
Follower counts. Each artist page shows how many fans follow the act, rounded on screen and exact in the page data. Follower lists are personal data and stay out of the feed, and the geographic breakdown stays in the artist dashboard, so the total is the public signal, and it is opt-in intent: following means alerts about shows near the fan. Bandsintown prices on it too - Boost placement falls back to follower tiers, from $50 below 10K followers to $500 at 500K and above, when venue capacity cannot be verified - and a claimed page turns verified at 100 followers. Venues and festivals can be followed as well, and each event shows a Going count.
Bandsintown alerts. Followers hear when a new date is published, when tickets go on sale and when a reminder they set comes due, all for one home city and radius. Pro venues add Just Announced, On Sale Now and one-month, one-week and one-day reminders; festivals add lineup, set-time and price-change alerts. Each alert type maps to a field change a feed can catch first.
Past concerts. Bandsintown past events stay on the artist page as touring history. A signed-out visitor sees the recent run and the full archive asks for a sign-in, so a history of past concerts is best built forward from scheduled snapshots.
Bandsintown is a concert discovery service built on one loop: a fan follows an artist, and the artist's own team keeps the tour calendar current. A Bandsintown scraper reads that loop from the public side: artist pages, event pages and city calendars. Listings arrive by two roads. Teams type them into Bandsintown for Artists, the free dashboard where a manager, label or agency claims a page and adds dates one at a time, by spreadsheet upload or as scheduled posts. Bandsintown also imports dates automatically from ticketing platforms such as Ticketmaster, AXS, Eventbrite and See Tickets, and from booking agencies, promoters and venues, then publishes them on the matching artist page.
That origin shapes Bandsintown data in three ways. Coverage follows the artist, not the building: an active team lists shows sold through a venue website or with no ticket link at all, while an unclaimed page may carry imports only. Lineups run one way: adding a support act to a lineup does not put the show on that act's own page, so one night can exist as a single record or as several, one per act that listed it. Quality follows whoever typed it: genre tags are not a fixed taxonomy, and a venue name can arrive with the box office phone number glued on.
Freshness is set by the same people. A team can hold a date as a draft, schedule publication at least four hours ahead, or switch off auto-publishing and screen imports by hand; if nobody logs in for 60 days, imports go live again seven days after they land. Past shows stay on the page as touring history. The public sitemap currently lists 674,610 artist pages, 11,280 venue pages and 51,354 city pages (September 2026), and every city page has sixteen genre variants.
Delivery: CSV, JSON or XLSX files, our API or a JSON feed. MCP server on request.
Full plan detailsThe ScrapeIt Bandsintown REST API serves the records we collect from an endpoint we host, Bandsintown API access is by key, and Bandsintown API documentation of every field comes with the dataset. Events come back with start and end times, on-sale state, title, description, a venue block with coordinates, the lineup with performer ids and one ticket row per seller with Artist Preferred, presale, VIP and sold-out marks; the artist record adds the MusicBrainz id, follower count and upcoming show count.
The feed can cover a whole market: records by city, venue, festival, genre and date across artists, with seller names, Going counts, genres and hometowns. That makes it a market-wide artist tour dates API, and Bandsintown scraping of public pages is what provides the city, festival and genre coverage.
Learn how to use web scraping to solve data problems for your organization
Data scraping is the wide term that includes documents, scans and old screens; web scraping is the part that works on websites. We compare sources, daily work, output and cost drivers, give a briefing checklist and walk through two of our projects.
Leveraging advances in technology, the AI-powered web scraper has skyrocketed in demand and is helping to expand capabilities by automating tedious daily tasks and speeding up data collection from thousands of websites several times over.
Web scraping is a method of obtaining web data by extracting it from pages of web resources with the help of a program, that is, in automatic mode. It is used to syntactically convert web pages into more usable forms.
As a web scraping agency, ScrapeIt takes the whole pipeline off your hands - collection design, daily operation and repairs when pages change - so your team receives data, not tooling. A Bandsintown project usually starts from a roster of artists, a set of cities or venues, or a genre across a region, plus the counters you want tracked. Weighing Bandsintown vs Songkick or Seated means weighing different jobs - Songkick runs its own concert listings, Seated texts fans early ticket access for artists - so the right Bandsintown alternative depends on the question. Sampling is free; ongoing runs are billed by volume and frequency.

Yes. The ScrapeIt Bandsintown API returns tour dates, lineups, venue coordinates, ticket sellers and follower counts as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. It covers the public city, festival, venue and artist pages in one schema. The same data also comes as CSV or XLSX files or straight into your database.
A sample is free. Bandsintown API pricing starts from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract, and ongoing runs are billed by volume and frequency. Access to our endpoint is by key: we issue your Bandsintown API key together with the dataset and documentation of every field.
The artist's team sets the presale up with its ticketing company first, then lists it in Bandsintown for Artists with start and end times, a ticket link and an optional code - one presale per event. The event page shows a Presale button leading to a signup page, and fans who opt in get an email 30 minutes before the window opens, plus a text in the US and Canada if the team pays for SMS. In the data it appears as a presale flag on the ticket row and, at general sale, the switch from Notify Me to Tickets. Presale codes and signup lists are never collected.
Fresher than the apps it feeds: edits reach Spotify, YouTube, Apple Maps and Shazam within 48 hours, Google within 30 and Amazon Music within 12, while an uploaded date lands on the artist page within minutes. A scheduled announcement goes live no sooner than four hours after it is set, and when tickets go on sale the Notify Me button can take two to four hours to turn into Tickets. Daily refresh suits most tour-date feeds, hourly fits a watchlist in announcement week, and weekly is enough for follower-count series. We deliver JSON, CSV or XLSX files, or load the rows into your warehouse.
Yes. We collect publicly available data only - tour dates, lineups, venues, ticket sellers and follower counts, as a signed-out visitor sees them on Bandsintown - and we collect it legally. Artists, venues and festivals are public professional profiles; fan accounts, RSVP names, reviews and sign-up contacts are never collected.
You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We'll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.
Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.
Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.
Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
