Export Your Concert History as CSV or JSON — Your Data

Founder of Gigvault — the concert tracker for live music fans.
There is a question worth asking of any app that holds years of your life: can you get it back out?
For a concert history the answer matters more than it looks. A list of every show you have been to since your teens is not the kind of thing you want stranded inside someone else's product. If the app closes, changes hands or simply stops being the one you use, the record should leave with you.
Gigvault exports the whole history as CSV or JSON, from the settings page, in one click.
What is in the file
Fifteen columns, one row per show:
| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| date | the date of the show |
| artist | the headline act |
| support_acts | the opening acts, as text |
| venue | where it was |
| city, country | where that is |
| status | attended, upcoming, wishlist |
| type | how you took part |
| is_festival | whether it was a festival set |
| rating_overall | your overall rating |
| rating_band, rating_sound, rating_atmosphere | the three separate scores |
| notes | whatever you wrote that night |
| logged_at | when you added it |
CSV opens in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets or anything else that reads a comma. JSON is there for the people who would rather write a script than click a chart.
What is not in it
Photos and videos are not included. They live in file storage, not in the row, and bundling them would be a different feature with a different download size. The settings page says so plainly, because an export that promises more than it delivers is worse than no export at all.
Merged duplicates are also left out. If two entries for the same night were joined at some point, you get the show once — not twice.
Why you might actually want it
To count things the app does not count. Concert Wrapped gives you top artists, cities and venues. If you want to know how many Tuesdays you have spent at a show, or how your ratings drifted over ten years, that is a pivot table away once the file is on your desk.
To keep a copy. A yearly export into your own drive costs a minute and means the record survives anything that happens to any app, including this one.
To bring it somewhere else. The data is yours. A CSV with date, artist and venue is the format every other tool understands.
To check the data. Reading your own history as a spreadsheet is a quick way to spot the show you logged twice, or the venue you spelled two different ways.
How to do it
1. Open Settings 2. Find the data export card 3. Choose CSV or JSON
The file downloads straight to your device. No email, no waiting queue, no export fee.
A note on why this exists
For a while this site claimed the export in nine places — including a comparison table against setlist.fm and Concert Archives, with a tick in the "Data export (CSV/JSON)" row — while the feature did not exist. When that came to light there were two options: remove the claim in nine places, or make it true.
It is true now. That seems worth saying out loud, because the reason to trust an export is not that someone promised one.
Frequently asked questions
Is the export free?
Yes. It is not behind a subscription.
Does it include shows I have not been to yet?
Yes — upcoming shows and wishlist entries carry their own status, so you can filter them out or keep them.
Can I import the file back?
The export is a copy for you, not a backup format. Your history stays in your account; the file is what you take with you.
What about my photos?
They stay in the app. The export covers the record of the shows, not the media attached to them.
Take the copy
If you have been logging for a while, take one now and put it somewhere you keep things. It takes a minute, and the value of a backup is only ever obvious afterwards.
