Frequently Asked Questions

Concert Map is an interactive map-based tool for discovering live music events worldwide. It helps you find upcoming concerts and festivals for your favorite artists anywhere in the world, making it easy to plan trips around shows or discover music while you travel. Concert Map can optionally import your listening history from Spotify or Last.fm to create a personalized map of events based on your top artists.

Personalizing your concert map shows you the most relevant events based on your top artists from your listening history. This makes it easy to see which of your favorite artists are performing nearby or at festivals. You can import your listening history using one of these methods:

Option 1: Upload Your Spotify History (Recommended)

This is the best way to get a complete and accurate list of your top artists based on your actual listening behavior. This method works even if you're not a Spotify beta tester.

  1. Go to Spotify's Privacy page . Scroll down to "Download your data". Uncheck "Select Account data" and check "Extended streaming history". Click "Request Data".
    2. Spotify download data request screenshot
  2. Spotify will email you to confirm the request. Click the button in the email to confirm.
    3. Spotify data request confirmation email
  3. The data request may take several hours. Once ready, Spotify will send another email with a download link for your zip file.
    4. Spotify download data email
  4. In Concert Map, click "Import Your Favorite Artists" and choose the "Spotify History Upload" option. Upload the zip file (no need to unzip it).

Option 2: Connect Your Last.fm Account

If you actively use Last.fm to track your listening, you can connect your account to automatically import your top artists. This provides a similar personalized experience based on your Last.fm listening history.

Note: You can only use one import method at a time (Spotify or Last.fm). Importing from a new source will replace your previous top artists list.

Additionally: Save Artists Manually

Regardless of which import method you use (or even if you don't import any listening history), you can always manually save additional artists. Simply use the search bar to find any artist, then click the star icon ⭐️ next to their name to add them to your saved artists list. These saved artists will appear alongside your imported top artists.

💡 You can manage your artists and data sources at any time by clicking the settings icon ⚙️ next to the "My Artists" tab.
