While onsite at a client today, I noticed that the offices for LiveNation were in the building I was in. I had briefly recognized the name for a minute, but couldn’t quite place exactly what they did. I knew they were an online company of some sort, but just couldn’t nail it down.
I quickly browsed to their site when I got back to my computer and quickly remembered that LiveNation is a site setup to help find and guide music fans to local concerts in their area and nationwide.
LiveNation.com is growing to become the world’s largest concert search engine. We’re dedicated to helping live music fans more easily and quickly find concert tickets and information about their favorite artists and venues. We’re constantly rolling out new features to improve our concert search experience. Many of these are in response to suggestions from fans like you, so if you have a question or comment please let us know.
What may be more interesting about the site is that they have developed and use an open-source architecture for sharing live events in your own community.
OPEL is a beta version of our Open Platform Event Listing. Please note that the beta version of OPEL is for submission of events only by qualified representatives of concert venues in North America. If you are accepted into OPEL, we will contact you with further details on how to submit your events and customize your venue’s dedicated page on LiveNation.com.
If you’re into music, specifically live music, then LiveNation is the place for you to find what’s playing in your town..
