Frequently asked questions
How do I see concerts near me on Spotify?
Open Live Events (Search → Live Events on a phone, Browse → Live Events on desktop), then use the location filter at the top to enter your town or city.
Can I search for concerts in another city on Spotify?
Yes. Change the location at the top of the Live Events feed.
Why are some artists I listen to missing from Live Events?
Spotify personalizes the feed based on your listening, so it is a set of recommendations rather than a check of a particular playlist. ShowFindr checks the artists in the playlist you choose. It is an independent app, not part of Spotify.
Can I scan a playlist with a free Spotify account?
Yes. ShowFindr works with Spotify Free and Premium. The free ShowFindr plan includes one successful playlist scan per UTC day and up to three visible matches.
What if a playlist scan finds no concerts?
Try another playlist or city. Artists may not have upcoming shows listed for that area. A scan with no matches does not use your free daily allowance.
