Data Requests & API

At Concert Archives, we're always excited to hear from researchers, industry pros, developers, journalists, and fans who are working on projects that celebrate and explore the live music experience.

If you're working on a project that could benefit from concert data (such as tour dates, performers, venues, or locations), we'd love to hear about it, and we'll do our best to support you.

Needing photos or videos? Please refer to our Media Requests & Usage page.

While we don't currently offer a public API, we are happy to review data requests and may be able to provide a spreadsheet export tailored to your project's needs. Large data exports typically require a data licensing agreement and licensing fee.

If you're primarily looking for API access, feel free to still submit a request. It helps us better understand what kinds of tools and access our community values, and we'll be sure to keep you in the loop if/when an API becomes available.

A Few Notes

  • Requests with a narrower scope (such as specific bands, venues, locations, or timeframe) are easier for us to fulfill.
  • We do not share any personal or identifiable user data under any circumstances.
  • All requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and we'll respond as soon as we can.

How to Submit a Data Request

To submit a request, please email us at [email protected] with the following information:

  • Subject line: Data Request
  • Your oganization name
  • Your organization type (commercial, academic, non-profit, personal)

  • How the project will be published or distributed
  • Whether you're looking for a spreadsheet export or API access
  • Scope of the data you're requesting (such as specific bands, venues, locations, or timeframe)

We genuinely appreciate the work being done to document, explore, celebrate, and power live music. Thanks for thinking of Concert Archives for your project, we're excited to hear what you're working on and will do our best to support you!
