Inside the merger of live music powerhouses Songkick and Crowdsurge.
In my twenties, I planned my life around concerts. There was nothing like being in an intimate venue, drinking cheap beer from a Solo cup, waiting for my favorite bands—Minus the Bear, Wolf Parade, Grizzly Bear—to walk on stage. But to figure out when musicians would be in town took commitment, studying tour schedules on individual websites, mapping out when they’d be at a nearby venue, and using a variety of platforms to track down tickets.
