Features

The more accounts you sign up for, the more places you need to update. ArtistData relieves this pain by giving you one central location to update all your social networking profiles! Enter a tour date, and watch it magically appear on your MySpace, Facebook, and PureVolume calendars. Notifications in the form of status messages will be posted on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace. And we're adding a growing list of web services to this service, so you'll be able to hook in your website provider, email list system, and more.

We work with a ton of other sites who are building cool things for artists and make it easier to get your data for them. Click on the right to set up syndication to your favorite service!

Entering your shows over and over again is a thing of the past. This feature takes the shows you've entered into ArtistData and sends them to all the top concert databases. When you activate this feature, we'll turn syndication to them all on and you can deactivate any you wish to not send content to.

Then, going forward, when you add, update, or remove shows, we'll let the concert databases know as well.

Because our partners require us to screen the shows we send to them to increase data quality, it can take 1-2 days for us to manually approve unrecognized venues.

NOTE: We guarantee we submit your shows to our partners (unless you get an email stating otherwise), but we can't guarantee our partners will post them. Once submitted to the partner, they approve it as well, which can take a few extra days.

Because we can't always post complete information in the space allotted (for example, Twitter), ArtistData sometimes need to send your fans through to get complete information about a show, news or blog in another place.

Your ArtistData page lists all the content you've entered into ArtistData, and includes some ticket links, recent Twitter posts, and a big image of your band at the top.

You can currently upload your own banner, making the page feel a lot more like your own site.

With our iCalendar feeds, you can view your show itinerary in all the standard calendar programs, including Google Calendar, Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Calendar, and others. It's simple to set up: we give you a direct URL to enter into these programs and instantly, you'll start seeing your shows appear.

Then, as you add, edit, or delete shows, we'll update those changes to your iCal. It's a great tool to keep an entire team on the same page by sending info directly to their desktops or mobile devices.

If you want, give it out to your fans so they can keep up to date as well!

With ArtistData's local media alert application, local newspapers and publications will be notified every time you play a show in the area. ArtistData will submit your show to the calendar editor of the local paper for inclusion in their concert calendar. We will also include information on how to reach you for further information.

This feature currently only includes US and Canada media outlets.

NOTE: We submit to these papers but cannot guarantee they will add you to their calendar.

ArtistData can create easy to use tour documents which allow you to keep everyone on the exact same page when out on the road. The tour documents currently include tour books and day sheets, which are generated from the data you've already entered into ArtistData. It's never been simpler, or more affordable, to make high quality, easy to use tour books.

We spend a lot of time working to integrate our data with as many services as possible, but sometimes we can't reach them all. By giving you direct access to a live feed of data, you can use our data feeds in your own way. You can run your website from them, tie them into a company database, and more.

You get access to your shows, news, and blog data through XML. Information is kept up to date in near real time, generally taking 5-15 minutes to update through your feed.

NOTE: Parsing data feeds isn't something we'd recommend for beginners, and if you dont know how to do it, you'll most likely need to hire a programmer. If you are novice, but wanting to get show data on your website, install our FREE and easy to set up Calendar Widget.

In our effort to simplify your data management, we wanted to offer a simple, easy to use, and customizable solution for your own website. With our iFrame Calendar Widget, you can quickly install your ArtistData calendar on your website and customize it to fit the style of your site. You don't need to be a web expert or programmer to use it, although you will need access to the code on your site to install it.

Don't just ask people to subscribe to your blog; ask them to subscribe to all your news. With the ArtistData RSS Feed, we combine all your new postings, including blogs, news, AND shows, into one feed that fans can subscribe to. We combine entries added near each other (for instance, if you add a bunch of tour dates, we only make one post about them). And you can even choose exactly what type of content you want included.

We even show you how to leverage this feed to easily post updates on Facebook!

Sometimes you just want to post an easily read list of shows to into an email or newsletter for your fans, but you dont want to have to reformat the whole thing. With this simple tool, you get a few options on how that list is presented (both HTML and plain text supported) that will allow you to easily, and quickly, include a full list of upcoming shows wherever you need to.
