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.

    Similar, and I also just checked the bands’ websites on occasion to see if they’re touring

    What makes you think I'm willing to pay to stand in a room full of people?

    I went to a concert once, I am glad to announce that I’m willing to pay not to stand in a room full of people

    Nemo,

    Pick up the local paper / zines / newsletter and check the concert listings.

    My hometown used to have a message board for concerts, too, but it was small enough that one person (or the same twenty people, in reality) could go to every single concert in town, because there were never more than two in a given week.

    favorite music artists going on tour?

    In Spotify or Youtube they sound way better than live. Also I don’t have to stand in corwded environment and enjoy overpriced snacks & beer.

    I just don’t go to live music concerts.

    newIdentity,

    It’s more about being around people who enjoy the same music as you do.

    zikk_transport2,

    Then it’s probably a culture thing. In Lithuania people don’t talk to strangers, even in the mentioned situation.

    newIdentity,

    I think it also really depends on the type of music they’re playing and the crowd. If you’re on a rave or listen to rap, everyone talks to everyone. I don’t think that’s really different in other countries.

    cobysev,

    My wife tracks them for me. I’m not a fan of live concerts. But my wife enjoys them, so she actively searches for concerts in our area and notifies me when a band we both like is passing through.

    FunkyMonk,

    When I have anywhere near enough time or money free to worry about shit like that I start googling it and then maybe 8 months later I can make something happen.

    redballooon,

    Their website. I don’t have that many favorite music artists. Checking them out once a year to see that they won’t be performing anywhere close to me satisfies this desire 100%.

    I don’t. Thanks for reminding me that I should check from time to time. I usually used to use goout.net.

    have school

    no time for concert

    flashgnash,

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

    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,

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    MrFunnyMoustache,

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

    SoloboiNanook,

    Browse the event listings of venues i frequent

    dan1101,

    Yep they often have mailing lists.

    And Bandcamp if the artists are on there.

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