The best free Songkick alternative in 2026

Why people are leaving Songkick

In late 2025, Songkick — one of the most popular concert tracking platforms — was acquired by Suno, a company that generates AI music. For many fans, this raised immediate questions: Will my concert history be used to train AI models? Who really owns my data now? Is the service going to pivot away from real concerts?

The concern is legitimate. Songkick's terms of service now list Suno as the data controller. Millions of users are actively searching for alternatives that remain independent and focused solely on live music.

Gigora is built for one purpose: helping fans discover, track, and remember live concerts. No AI music generation, no data brokerage — just live music data.

The feature no other platform has: Tour Radar

Songkick lets you follow artists one by one. Gigora's Tour Radar lets you track dozens of artists simultaneously and see every show where two or more of them appear together — on the same bill, at the same festival, as support acts or co-headliners.

How to switch from Songkick to Gigora

1. 1Export your Songkick gig history. In Songkick, go to Settings → Export data and download your gig history — the concerts you've been to — as a CSV.
2. 2Upload it to Gigora — your history comes with you. Create a free account, then upload the CSV on the import page. Shows you attended are matched automatically and marked “went”; any we don't list yet are saved to your personal concert log. Most alternatives start you from zero — here, your past comes along.
3. 3Follow your artists. Connect Spotify to auto-follow the artists you already listen to — or browse the artists directory and follow them by hand. Following an artist gets you alerts the moment they announce a show.
4. 4Subscribe to your iCal feed. From any artist page, copy the iCal link and add it to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. It updates automatically.
5. 5Set up Tour Radar. Head to gigora.live/tours, add your artists, and save the filter as a preset. You now have a live view of every upcoming show across your whole watchlist.

Frequently asked questions

Songkick was acquired by Suno — an AI music generation company — in late 2025.

As a result, thousands of users are looking for independent Songkick alternatives.

Is Gigora owned by an AI company like Songkick?

No. Gigora is fully independent — not owned by, spun out of, or feeding any AI company. Songkick was acquired by Suno, an AI music-generation company; Gigora has no such ties, so your concert history and followed artists are never part of an AI training pipeline. If you want a Songkick alternative that is genuinely independent and not owned by AI, that is exactly what Gigora is.

Can I bring my Songkick concert history to Gigora?

Yes — and it takes one click. Export your gig history from Songkick as a CSV, then upload it on the Gigora import page. The shows you attended are matched and marked as attended, and anything not yet in our catalogue is saved to your personal concert log. Most Songkick alternatives start you from an empty profile; Gigora brings your past with you.
