I like the idea. Maybe you could leverage Songkick API to support more cities ? (I moved to Tel Aviv recently and it's really hard to spend the time to find out which concerts are worth going to)

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 too so you couldn't see all the music..)

Yeah I think festival support should be added to my backlog. I love listening to festival lineups even when I’m not going.

Looked into this. SongKicks licensing is really restrictive once I start using their API. Do you have a site you use for upcoming shows in Tel Aviv?

Brilliant! It's always surprised me that Spotify didn't add this feature since they already have the data.

Wow. A whole 4 cities in one country. Totally useful :\

Oh this is a great idea! Any chance to get a plain list of musicbrainz IDs for the nerds with their own music collection instead of the ever so ephemeral and privacy-infringing Cloud?

That's a really good idea. Nice execution on it, too...

Certainly more useful than your comment.

Next time try something like:

"I was disappointed to only see 4 cities, I'd love if you could support X,Y,Z cities next."
