Great, simple idea with good execution
From 3 comments
This is such a great, simple, almost obvious idea. This type of ideas is getting more and more rare, so it is great to see one popping here and there.
heyts on HNThat's a really good idea. Nice execution on it, too...
runnr_az on HNFantastic idea.

Useful for discovering new music and festival planning
From 3 comments
This is a great idea. My partner made a playlist of Boston Calling bands. It was helpful for a festival when you don't know all of the bands (the festival bands play concurrently…
acomjean on HNThis is great, I waste a LOT of time doing playlists to figure out my festival schedule. So time consuming. Can you do google play please? I had to junk Spotify years ago because…
magwa101 on HNGreat job! I will use this. It might be a nice discovery pipeline if nothing else. A "select all venues" feature seems important, and the playlist probably only needs one song…

Objections
Coverage is incomplete since small concerts have no reliable source
From 2 comments
Devil is in the details. There's just no place to reliably source all of the events that are happening. Sure you can get the ones that sell tickets through ticketmaster, or…
mnx on HNMaybe it's better in the states, but where I live the papers don't come close to being a complete listing. They will have the major stuff, and some of the smaller shows too - but…

Spotify could easily add this feature
From 2 comments
Awesome idea, but this seems like something that could be just switched on quickly at Spotify.
overcast on HNBrilliant! It's always surprised me that Spotify didn't add this feature since they already have the data.

Add a list view of venues and acts
From 2 comments
Very cool. Haven't been back to NYC in awhile but good to see the Rockwood Music Hall is still a hot venue. My main suggestion would be to populate the page with the Spotify data…
danso on HNPlease add a list view of all venues by city! I don't want to have to search for all the venues.

Filter by genre
From 1 comment
Is there some kind of filter for types of music? When I look at the "bands" in my town (not through your app), there's everything from metal to folk to techno.

Support Google Play Music or other platforms

magwa101 on HNCan this be used to create playlists in formats with more interoperating potential, such as JSON?

Questions
Can it aggregate shows from ticketing sites like Ticketmaster or SeatGeek
From 2 comments
Great idea. Congrats! Would it be possible to aggregate shows from a ticket website like seatgeek or ticketmaster?
smprod on HNPossible to support any city by checking Stubhub/Ticketmaster API for events in user-entered city?

Is there a plan for festival support
From 1 comment
Yeah I think festival support should be added to my backlog. I love listening to festival lineups even when I’m not going.
