new on emusic: concert dates
26Aug10
We’re really, really excited about a new feature that launched on the site this afternoon. In conjunction with the site Bands In Town, eMusic is now offering tour information for your favorite acts on both album and artist pages. So now when you’re freaking out about how amazing that new Zoroaster album is, you can look down, see they’re playing Club Hell in Providence on September 17 (Or Knitting Factory Brooklyn on the 19th, as the case may be), and buy yourself a ticket to enjoy the music live. We’re amped to have this on site, and we hope you are, too!
UPDATED: A quick note! We had to temporarily disable this to fix a few things. It will return shortly!
UPDATED AGAIN: It’s back!
Sweet!!
just saw this while perusing the summer selections. neato! If a band is coming close and I’m on the fence, it’s a good little push.
Really like this new feature.
Either there’s a glitch or Miles Davis is playing in London on October 14 (according to his “Kind of Blue” page). If he is, I need to find a way to get there because that will be epic.

So all of the data here comes from the site Bands In Town, so if it’s showing up there, it will show up on eMusic as well. My guess is that it’s some kind of tribute night to Miles. I am going to create a Band in Town account to see if I can edit the shows.
This is a really cool feature, but what could take it over the top is if it would link to emusic’s record of who you have downloaded from them, and you could bring up a page that would show if any band you have downloaded from emusic would be playing in your area in, say, the next two months.
That would be so killer.
This is a really cool feature, but what would take it over the top is if there was a page on the emusic site that would coordinate this with emusic’s record of music you have downloaded from them. So on this page you would be able to see if any of the bands you have either downloaded or rated highly on emusic are playing in your area in, say, the next two months.
That would be killer.
