Songkick said last year that they wanted to become the largest global database of concerts in the world. It looks like they may have got there already.
Their latest figures say the site now carries information on 100,000 upcoming music events, with over 2,500 added daily added from about 80 sources. These include Ticketmaster down to small local listings papers, as well as by the Songkick user community. It's particularly that aspect which has supercharged the site: user uploads are now up 900% year on year.
Competitors include TiBconcerts, Bandsintown, Livekick, hearwhere, GigJunkie.net, Setlist.fm, GigLocator and Gig Lovers. However, Songkick has been around since 2007 and is clearly building traction.
