Drag the slider all the way to the right, and more obscure bands in lesser known venues will also be recommended. Drag the slider to the center, and you'll also receive concert notifications from bands you listen to less often. Within the app, you can drag the artist slider all the way over to the left, which only tracks artists it thinks you truly love. Second is the customizability of the bands that are actually 'tracked'. In the app, rather than just setting your city, you can also choose how far you are willing to travel to gigs, so you only receive recommended events you can actually get to. What makes the Bandsintown mobile app so great is the customizability of the recommendations you receive. Songkick had raised 16.6 million from Y Combinator, Betaworks, Sequoia, and Index, which helped it grow to 10 million monthly active users and begin selling tickets for the shows it promotes. Connected to your Facebook, Last.fm, Spotify, and Deezer accounts, the concert recommendations you'll receive will be impeccable. With over 15 million users, it might be right. Bandsintown describes itself as the 'number one place for tour announcements'.
