The Windish Agency was an early beta tester and adopter, president Tom Windish says. Now, Tourbox allows artists to take more control over their concert data and reach fans through its network of syndication partners.Īgents and managers have also sought more ownership of their artist’s data on Songkick. Before Tourbox, an artist could only push out those tour dates that Songkick ingested from its data partners such as ticketing companies. Songkick CEO Ian Hogarth tells that while the company was focusing on improving the service’s fan experience, it had received pleas from thousands of small artists asking how to get their concerts into the database.

The London-based startup has received funding from Index Ventures, Y Combinator, Sequoia Capital and angel investors Alex Zubillaga (former Warner Music Group executive) and Dan Porter (Ticketweb co-founder). Songkick is used by six million music fans each month and offers concert information through, its iOS app and such digital services as Spotify, YouTube, Vevo, Onesheet, Mobile Roadie, the Hype Machine and Songbird.
