Soon we’ll need a gig discovery discovery service, to help us discover all the different gig discovery services. We’ll let you parse that sentence for a few minutes… But yes, Live Nation is going head to head with Songkick, Bandsintown and others with a new Facebook application called Concert Calendar. It aggregates music and comedy live listings from Ticketmaster and 75 other companies, and recommends events based on users’ Facebook profiles – including streaming music histories. The app also ties into Ticketmaster’s existing social f-commerce system, to buy tickets and sit with friends who are attending the same gig.
