Songkick Alternative — the successor for fans who go
Songkick was the king of concert discovery for over a decade — until Warner-acquired Songkick shut down the standalone app and merged into the marketing tools. Fans were left without a tracker for their concert history. Gigvault is the modern successor: built for fans who actually go to concerts, not just browse them.
Why fans are looking for a Songkick alternative
The Songkick standalone app shut down. The "Songkick.com" web version still exists but focuses on artist discovery and ticket links — not personal concert tracking. The "I was there" button never returned to a dedicated app. Fans who logged 200+ concerts on Songkick lost the social tracking experience. Gigvault rebuilds it from the ground up — and adds Concert Wrapped, festival mode, photo diaries, and social features Songkick never had.
What Gigvault does that Songkick never did
Concert Wrapped — annual recap updated after every show you attend, not just December. Support acts tracked separately — the opener counts toward your stats. Festival sets band-by-band — a Wacken weekend with 14 sets = 14 logged concerts. Photo and video uploads per show — your memories attached to each gig, not lost in a camera roll. Tag friends so shared shows appear in their vault too. AI Music Identity generated from your real concert history. Concert Buddies that surface friends with the most overlap.
How to migrate from Songkick to Gigvault
Export your Songkick "I went" list from your profile. Then manually log each one in Gigvault — search the artist, pick the date, the venue auto-fills. Most ex-Songkick users finish migrating 100+ shows in a single afternoon because Gigvault's auto-fill makes each log take 20-30 seconds instead of the 5 minutes manual entry would require.
Songkick alternatives compared
Bandsintown — focuses on upcoming concert discovery, weak on personal tracking. Concert Archives — community-driven but tiny user base and no mobile apps. Setlist.fm — setlist database, not a personal tracker. Last.fm — tracks Spotify listening, not concert attendance. Concerts Remembered — abandoned project. Gigvault — purpose-built modern tracker with both past and future shows.
