Live Music Datasets: Venues, Events & Artists

The data sheet

What is in the file. Exactly.

Pick the coverage you would buy. For each dataset you get the row count, when the rows were last confirmed, every column of the file, and how many rows carry each kind of information. Read from the live database, not a brochure.

Delivery

Files for your systems. Same rows as the console.

✓Data files. A data subscription delivers CSV files for the market region, state, US region or country you chose, from your own data account, with the record counts stated up front.
✓Stable IDs. Venues, artists and events keep their ids through every refresh, and the event–artist junction ties shows to acts, so your joins hold from one version to the next.
✓REST API and MCP server. Part of the Enterprise application plan, not of a data subscription: the same records as live endpoints and as tools your AI assistant can call.
✓Weekly refresh, for a year. Every new version lands in your data account and you get an email when it does. Event calendars weekly; venue and artist records on a rolling schedule, plus continuous corrections.

Questions

Common questions.

What is in the datasets?

Three linked datasets: venues, events (music and the community calendar) and artists, with a junction between shows and acts. Every record has a stable ID and provenance back to its sources. The data sheet on this page lists every column of every file.

How complete is the data?

The data sheet shows it for the exact coverage you choose: how many rows there are, when they were last confirmed, and what share carry an email, a phone, a booking contact, a website, a capacity, coordinates and so on. The figures are read from the live database, not estimated.

Is there a sample?

Yes, free and without signing up. Each dataset has a sample file of about a hundred rows, two from every state, in the same columns as the paid file.

How is the data delivered?

As CSV files from your data account. Every subscription includes a year of weekly refreshes: each new version appears in your account and you get an email when it does.

How are data subscriptions priced?

By coverage and by dataset, for one year. One market region is $249 for all three datasets. One state is $389, $589 or $989 for all three depending on its size, or $189, $289 or $489 for a single dataset. A US region is $2,489 for all three and the whole country $3,989.

Can I buy just one dataset?

Yes. Venues, events and artists are each sold on their own for a state, a US region or the whole country. A single market region is sold as the set of three.

What does the license allow?

Use inside your organization: load it into your CRM, your warehouse or a spreadsheet, and build on it. It may not be resold, redistributed, shared outside the organization or offered as a dataset or feed to others.

What is the difference between a data subscription and a console plan?

A data subscription is the files for a territory, refreshed weekly, for loading into your own systems. A console plan is the application: research, search, the Competition Grid, the Tour Planner and the CRM. Data files are not part of any console plan.

The dataset under everything, available on its own.
