It also lets you add a date to Google Calendar if you prefer to house tour information there-a nice touch. 'Calendar' displays the shows you may attend and artist tour dates. Tapping the entry takes you to a second screen where you can let others know if you're attending ('I'm going'/'I might go'), check out the venue location on Google Maps, view other artists in the event lineup, purchase tickets (from the likes of LiveNation, Stubhub!, and others sellers), and view other Songkick Concert users who plan to attend the same show. When you bring a finger to the icon of an artist on tour, Songkick Concerts displays the tour dates, tour venues, and locations. 'Artists' displays a thumbnail grid of performer images showing performers you manually added and those which Songkick automatically generated based on your music file collection. The Songkick Concerts ExperienceThe Songkick Concerts homescreen features three areas: 'Artists,' 'Calendar,' and 'Locations.' Songkick Concerts didn't recognize a Heems track, but overall I was impressed that the app has its ear tuned to both popular and underground acts. Nine of the ten music tracks on my Samsung Galaxy Note II pulled an artist entry-even a song from the relatively unknown Death Grips.

When you launch the Songkick Concerts, the app automatically scans your device's music file library (as well as Last.FM and Pandora mobile apps) for artists to match against its database-and it works surprisingly well. If tapping icons is a bit too much exertion, you can simply let Songkick Concerts dig up tour information for you.

If the artists aren't on tour, Songkick Concerts simply displays 'No Upcoming Events.' After logging in with your Facebook credentials (sadly, this is the only way to use the app), tap the '+' icon, key in an artist's name, tap the search button, select the artist's database entry, and then tap 'Track.' You'll know that an artist is on tour if you see a red 'On Tour' sash adorning the listing. How Songkick Concerts WorksSongkick Concerts lets you obtain concert information in two ways.
