Songkick Events Scraper
Scrape Songkick concert and festival listings from any metro area, artist, or venue URL, up to a million events per run. Each event returns its lineup, date, venue with full address, and ticket links. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Songkick's concert data is spread across thousands of artist, venue, and city pages, making manual collection slow and error-prone. This Actor reads public event listings directly from any Songkick URL you provide, from a single club show to a major festival lineup. It returns every matching event in a consistent flat schema, ready for analysis or integration.

| Music marketers | Finding every upcoming show for an artist to plan promotional campaigns. |
| Ticketing analysts | Tracking on-sale dates and ticket availability across metro areas. |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that the URL you entered is a valid Songkick concert, artist, venue, or metro area page. If the page has no events listed, the Actor will return an empty dataset. Try a different URL, such as a popular artist or a major city metro area page.
The Actor stops before reaching my maxItems limit.
The Actor stops when it has scraped all events available on the page. If the page only lists 50 events and you set maxItems to 100, the run will finish after collecting those 50. Try a broader URL, like a metro area page, to get more events.
Some venue addresses are missing in the output.
Songkick does not always display a full street address or coordinates for every venue. The Actor captures whatever is publicly listed on the page. If the data is missing, it was not available on Songkick for that event.
The run takes a long time for a large maxItems value.
Scraping many events requires loading multiple pages. Set a lower maxItems value for faster test runs, or increase the Actor's memory in the run settings if you are collecting hundreds of thousands of events.
I get an error when using a short URL or a redirect.
Use the full, canonical Songkick URL. If a short link redirects to a different domain, the Actor may not follow it. Copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar on the Songkick page you want to scrape.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I scrape events for a specific city? | Yes. Paste the Songkick URL for a metro area, such as https://www.songkick.com/metro_areas/7644-us-new-york, and the Actor will collect every listed event up to your maxItems limit. |
| Does this Actor require a Songkick API key or login? | No. It reads the public event listings directly from the Songkick website, so no API key, app registration, or login is needed. |
| What format does the output come in? | The dataset can be exported to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from your Apify run. Each row is one event with its lineup, date, venue, and ticket links. |
| Can I scrape past events or only upcoming ones? | The Actor collects whatever events are listed on the URL you provide. Songkick pages typically show upcoming events, but if a page includes past dates, those will be scraped as well. |
| How many events can I scrape in one run? | You set the maximum with the maxItems field, up to 1,000,000 events per run. The Actor stops when it hits that number or runs out of events on the page. |
| Does it get the full artist lineup for a festival? | Yes. Every performing artist listed for an event is captured, so a festival with 20 acts will return all 20 names in the lineup field. |
| Can I scrape multiple URLs in one run? | The startUrl field accepts a single URL per run. To scrape multiple pages, run the Actor once per URL or use Apify's scheduler to chain runs. |
| Is venue address and location data included? | Yes. When Songkick lists a venue's street address and geographic coordinates, those are included in the output row. |
| Can I filter events by date or genre? | The Actor does not apply its own filters. It scrapes whatever events appear on the URL you provide. Use Songkick's own filters on the page before copying the URL to narrow results. |
| What if a concert has no ticket link? | The ticket link field will be empty for that event. Many small venue shows on Songkick do not include direct ticket vendor links. |
