Songkick Events Scraper — Concerts, Tours & Live Music

Scrape concerts and live music events from songkick.com — artist, venue, full address, coordinates, date, genre, and ticket links for every event. Works with artist pages (lists all upcoming concerts) or direct concert URLs. One row per event, clean JSON out.

Why use this scraper

• Full event detail. Artist name, genre and bio; venue name, street address, city, region, postal code, country and lat/lng coordinates; start/end dates; ticket URL, price and availability.
• Artist pages work as listings. Paste an artist URL and get every upcoming concert for that artist — artist pages server-render all their shows.
• No login, no API key. Songkick's public API requires an apikey; this scraper reads the same data the website renders, no credentials needed.
• Structured output. Clean schema.org MusicEvent JSON-LD parsed into flat rows — ready for spreadsheets, databases, or LLM pipelines.

Overview

Songkick is a concert-discovery platform with millions of live music events worldwide. This actor scrapes artist pages and concert pages, returning structured data: who's playing, where, when, what genre, and where to buy tickets.

Each output row is a single concert with the artist (name, genre, bio, profile URL), the venue (name, full postal address, geo coordinates), the timing (start/end dates), and ticket offers (URL, price, availability).

Supported inputs

• Artist pages (listing — returns all upcoming concerts for the artist):
  • https://www.songkick.com/artists/197928-coldplay
  • https://www.songkick.com/artists/139648-rihanna
• Concert URLs (single event):
  • https://www.songkick.com/concerts/43297018-coldplay-at-second-presbyterian-church-of-fort-lauderdale

Note: Metro-area pages (/metro-areas/...) are not supported — those load events client-side via JavaScript. Use artist pages or direct concert URLs instead.

How it works

1. You provide an artist page URL (or direct concert URLs).
2. The actor fetches the artist page with impit (real Chrome TLS fingerprint).
3. It extracts concert links from the page's server-rendered HTML.
4. It fetches each concert detail page in parallel and parses the schema.org MusicEvent JSON-LD.
5. Each concert becomes one clean row in the dataset.

FAQ

Do I need a Songkick API key? No. The scraper reads the public website data. Songkick's REST API requires an apikey, but the website renders the same data without it.

Why can't I use metro-area pages? Metro-area pages load their event lists client-side via JavaScript, so the events aren't in the initial HTML. Artist pages server-render all upcoming concerts, so use those instead.

How many concerts does an artist page return? All upcoming concerts for that artist — typically 3 to 50 depending on how active their tour schedule is.

Can I scrape multiple artists? Yes — pass multiple artist page URLs in startUrls.
