Songkick has put new API keys on hold and licenses its data from $500 a month. Our Songkick scraper reads the public site instead: metro calendars, festival editions, venue archives and gig histories.

This Songkick API alternative is a crawl planned in Songkick's own units - metro area, month, venue, artist - which we host and fix when the markup shifts. Anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving are part of the managed service; Songkick's edge refuses clients that do not behave like a browser, so collection runs in real browser sessions at a measured pace.
The default metro listing stops at about ten shows a day and the sitemap trails the calendars, so coverage comes from month and single-day views, checked against venue calendars. For every seller row we record the seller name, status and price, and we never sign in. Each run becomes your Songkick export: CSV, JSON or XLSX, or rows in S3, SFTP or your warehouse.
Field labels below are the page's own.
Gig histories run deepest. Songkick says some of its events date back to the 1960s, and each artist's gigography lists them in pages of 50: date, venue with street address, city and country, co-billed acts, Outdoor and live-stream flags. The Rolling Stones list about 1,300 past shows, the earliest at the Marquee Club on 12 July 1962. Artist pages add derived stats: shows per year, most played metro areas (London 51 times, Los Angeles 48), miles travelled, a popularity rank and the acts shared most bills with.
Venues keep their own record. O2 Academy Brixton's past-concert list starts in September 1972, the year the building became a rock venue, so one venue id yields half a century of bookings.
Songkick festivals are two objects, and the series is noisy. Country hubs such as /festivals/countries/uk list what is coming. Glastonbury's series page holds 25 past entries, yet several are dates filed under the brand at unrelated rooms: Bury Town Hall, a venue in Southend, an arena in Cape Town. The real 2025 edition spans 25 to 29 June at Worthy Farm with 295 acts in one flat list, split by neither day nor stage. Deduplication runs on venue and date span, keyed to the series id.
Joins need a bridge. Public pages key on Songkick ids, and MusicBrainz stores Songkick artist links as a relation type of its own, so the match runs from that side.
Songkick has listed live music since 2007 from Hoxton, East London, and it works as an aggregator, not a box office. For a Songkick scraper that means one page per show, with a row for each seller. Songkick listings come from more than 100 sources by its own count, from the major ticket sellers to local listings, plus dates artists publish through Tourbox and events that fans submit. Any signed-in user can edit most events; shows featuring the most popular artists are locked against bad data. Warner Music Group sold Songkick to Suno in November 2025, and the terms and privacy policy now name Suno Inc. as operator.
Five entities carry Songkick data, each with a numeric id in its address:
Songkick concerts in London, New York and Berlin each hang on one metro page: /metro-areas/24426-uk-london also carries Brixton, Camden, Croydon and Woking, and 7644-us-new-york-nyc takes in Brooklyn, Queens and Wantagh. The sitemap currently lists about 5,000 metro areas; London holds about 6,300 upcoming events, New York about 4,200 and Berlin about 2,700 (September 2026).
Delivery: CSV, JSON or XLSX files, our API or a JSON feed. MCP server on request.
Full plan detailsSongkick API access through ScrapeIt is by key. The ScrapeIt Songkick API returns concerts in billing order, venues with capacity, metro calendars, gig histories, seller rows with status and From price, and RSVP totals as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. For a Songkick developer building on the feed, documentation of every field comes with the dataset, and Songkick API pricing follows our plans: from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.
That makes it a concert API, a concert listings API and a concert database API in one. Price monitoring across sellers, a market study that keeps history, or a venue benchmark joined to other feeds all run on the same rows, and that is where Songkick scraping comes in. Mind the clock: seller rows and prices vanish once a show has passed, so a price history exists only if it is captured while the date is on sale.
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.
ScrapeIt is a managed web scraping agency: we write, run and maintain the collectors, and you receive clean files on a schedule. Songkick projects usually start narrow - one metro area over a season, a festival circuit, or the gigographies of an artist roster - and widen once the fields look right. Teams weighing Songkick vs Bandsintown, or other Songkick alternatives, often end up with both feeds, joined through MusicBrainz, which links artists to each service. You approve a sample before anything recurring starts, and the quote follows row volume and refresh frequency rather than seats or licences.

Yes. The ScrapeIt Songkick API returns concerts with artist ids in billing order, venues with capacity, metro area calendars, seller rows with status and From price, and gig histories as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same data also comes as CSV or XLSX files or straight into your database. Your Songkick API key comes with the project, and instead of a Songkick free API tier we offer a free project assessment.
Songkick API pricing follows our standard plans. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract. The feed carries what the public pages show: concerts in billing order, venues with capacity, metro calendars and gig histories, plus each seller row with status and From price, the price span and RSVP totals.
Concert id and URL, artist ids in billing order with headliner and support marked, local date, start time, doors and show time, status, outdoor and live-stream flags, tour name, venue id, name, street, postcode, city, country, coordinates, website and capacity, metro area id, genre buckets, each ticket seller with sale status and From price, the price span with currency, the on-sale age and RSVP totals. Archives add gigography rows per artist and per venue. Files ship as CSV, JSON or XLSX.
Coverage is worldwide but uneven. The metro sitemap leans on the United States, Germany, France and the UK, then the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Canada, and festival hubs exist for 17 countries. Scope is set by metro area id, so it maps onto Songkick's own geography. New dates land every day and a cancellation can appear at any time, so daily runs suit calendars, with a faster loop on a watchlist around big on-sales. Archives need one backfill and a monthly top-up.
Yes. We collect only publicly available data, what Songkick shows to any visitor - concerts, lineups, venues, seller rows with prices, RSVP totals and gig histories - and we collect it legally, with no logins. Artists appear as public professional profiles; we do not collect users, their tracked artists, attendance or concert plans.
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.
