Songkick Events Scraper — Concert, Artist & Venue Listing Intelligence

The Songkick Events Scraper is a source of structured concert data for live music events and tour dates from Songkick — the global directory for live music, tours, and venue calendars. You give it a city (or a Songkick metro-area ID) and it returns a clean, structured row for every upcoming concert in that metro, including:

• Concert title, date/time, status, event page URL, and poster image
• Performer lineup — each act on the bill with its music genres and Songkick artist URL
• Full venue record — name, Songkick venue URL, street address, city, region, country, postal code, and latitude/longitude
• Ticket offers — provider link, availability, on-sale date, price, and currency
• Headliner name and a short event description

This is a listings dataset: every row is a concert. Songkick is artist/venue-centric, so the rows describe what is playing where and when — not promoter contact records. There is no organizer/promoter lead entity and no social-handle data on Songkick, so this Actor does not offer (and does not bill for) any contact-enrichment step. What you see is the full concert listing.

Use Cases

1. Venue & Concert Calendar Intelligence

Pull every upcoming concert in a metro to map which venues are active, how densely they are booked, and what genres dominate the calendar. Useful for venue-discovery tools, hospitality/tourism apps, and local "what's on" products.

2. Artist / Tour Tracking

Each row's performers[] array lists every act on the bill with its genres and Songkick artist URL. Track which artists are touring a city, build tour-routing datasets, or feed talent-agency and music-data products.

3. Ticketing & Pricing Signals

The ticketOffers[] array carries provider links, availability, on-sale date, price, and currency — useful for price-tracking, on-sale alerting, and resale/secondary-market monitoring.

4. Genre & Scene Mapping

Performer genres plus venue geo coordinates let you map a city's live-music scene by style and neighborhood — input for editorial curation, recommendation engines, and music-tourism research.

5. Cross-Platform Event Database

Combine Songkick concert listings with Eventbrite, Resident Advisor, DICE, and Bandsintown datasets for a unified multi-source live-music view. Shared fields (event name, venue, date, geo) make deduplication straightforward.

On the roadmap: venue-specific listing mode and artist-specific tour mode. Drop me a line if either would unblock a use case — it helps me prioritize.

Cost

This Actor uses simple pay-per-event pricing:

• $0.03 per event scraped

There is no enrichment add-on (Songkick exposes no promoter/contact entity to enrich), so the price is just the per-event rate. Apify's platform costs are included, so the total is predictable: a 250-concert metro sweep costs roughly $7.50.

Input

• city — name of a city to pull concerts for (e.g. "Los Angeles", "London", "New York", "Berlin", "Tokyo", "Barcelona"). The Actor resolves the name to a Songkick metro-area ID; ~25 major metros are recognized for instant lookup. For an unlisted metro, provide metroAreaId instead.
• metroAreaId (advanced) — Songkick's numeric metro-area ID. Find it on songkick.com → open a city page → the number in the URL before the country code (e.g. 17835 in 17835-us-los-angeles). Overrides city when set.
• maxItems — maximum number of concerts to return. 0 = uncapped (paginates the entire metro calendar).
• startPage — listing page to begin from (1 = first/soonest). Usually leave at 1.

Sample inputs

Quick city preview:

{ "city": "Los Angeles", "maxItems": 20 }

Full metro sweep:

{ "city": "London", "maxItems": 0 }

Direct metro-area access (skips name resolution):

{ "metroAreaId": 7644, "maxItems": 100 }

Output

The data is returned in JSON format, ideal for direct ingestion into analytics platforms, CRMs, dashboards, or downstream pipelines. Every row is one concert.

FAQ

What does this Actor return? Structured concert data for a city: every upcoming live-music event with its date, venue, full lineup (each act + genres), ticket offers, and geo coordinates. One row per concert.

Does it give me promoter or organizer contacts? No. Songkick is artist/venue-centric — the "organizer" is the headliner, not a bookable promoter, and there are no contact records on the platform. For organizer/venue contacts, pair this with the Email Extractor on venue websites, or use a contact-bearing source like Eventbrite.

Can I build a multi-source live-music dataset? Yes. Concert data here shares event/venue/date/geo fields with the music siblings below, so deduplicating across platforms is straightforward.

Is there a Songkick API — why use this instead? Songkick's API is gated behind a key and approval, rate-limited, and omits many of the fields you actually want (full lineups, ticket offers, geo). This Actor returns the complete structured record for every concert — date, venue, lineup with genres, ticket offers, and coordinates — with no API key and no quota: point it at a city and export to JSON, CSV, or Excel.
