Concerts database now integrated in tunesBag (powered by Songkick)

Listening to a playlist using tunesBag is cool - but the same track during a live gig can be something you'll remember for years! (Think of the 360° U2 tour or the special atmosphere of a singer/songwriter gig)

But when is an artist on town and are there still tickets available?

To provide you with that information we've teamed up with Songkick, a startup based in London, UK. Every time you listen to a track we'll show you if this artist is on tour and the next locations. Just click on one of them in order to get all the details and prices for tickets.

Enjoy and cu at a concert soon ;-)
