People who don't have any social media *besides Lemmy of course* how do you keep up with the news of your favorite music artists going on tour? (Edited)

I was thinking of creating an anonymous ticketmaster account using public wifi since they block VPNs and just have them email me updates, but they required a phone number for the sign up so I scrapped that idea.

Edit: I decided to sign up for songkick as someone else here mentioned. It seems pretty polished and its entire purpose is concert discovery. It never asked for any unnecessary extra information either such as first and last name and phone number, just an email and a password and boom.

Oh I get all of the information I need about that from having kids, being 40+ and being an introvert. Ticketmaster prices help too.

BigBananaDealer,

spotify usually has a notification for that, or it’ll be on the artists page

criitz,

Songkick.com

some_guy,

I receive tons of marketing emails from companies like Ticketmaster, LiveNation (or whatever it’s called, etc, because I’ve bought tickets online from them in the past. I don’t mark them as spam because I want to catch shows that interest me. Oh, right, someone mentioned that venues also send emails. I get those, too.

I use bandsintown.com

It usually goes “Cool! That band is gonna… Oh it was last week… Fuck…”

hypnotoad__,

Followed by “who are the cool bands now?”

meyotch,

Most bands I care about have a website and an email distribution list. Most venues I enjoy also send out their upcoming events by email.

Now excuse me, there is a cloud I must go yell at.

Sequentialsilence,

I work in the industry, so I just look at our calendar and see who’s coming through.

SoloboiNanook,

dan1101,

Yep they often have mailing lists.

And Bandcamp if the artists are on there.

MrFunnyMoustache,

I follow artists I like on twitter without having an account, I use the Squawker app for that.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

I love the efforts you all go through to ensure you never lump reddit and lemmy in with the rest of is peers.

Neither Reddit nor lemmy meet the actual requirements of social media.

  1. Knowing the people you are talking to. Both Reddit and lemmy are anonymous
  2. Status updates on some sort of timeline.

Lemmy and Reddit are forums of forums, and if you want to get more specific they’re link aggregators. Nobody ever called the car forum you visited to ask for car help “social media” because it wasn’t and still isn’t. Same applies to lemmy and Reddit.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

flashgnash,

If you use YouTube for music it tells you when the band you are listening to is doing a concert
