Songkick is a website and mobile service that provides tickets and personalised calendars for live music events. It allows users to track their favourite bands, receive email alerts and purchase tickets when a tracked band plays a gig nearby, and sells tickets on behalf of artists worldwide. Songkick is one of the original high tech startups in London's Silicon Roundabout area.

Songkick provides white-labelled concert ticketing service for major artists, including Paul McCartney, Ellie Goulding, Childish Gambino, John Legend, Kenny Chesney and The XX. They sell tickets for a wide range of artists on their website, providing tickets for more than one in three of all events in London. The service also allows users to track bands and receive alerts when those bands play concerts near the user's favourite locations. The site lists more than 100,000 upcoming concerts and its database contains more than 1 million artists. It also provides more than 2 million "gigographies" which are listings of historical concerts with user contributed data including reviews, set lists, videos and photographs.

Songkick provides mobile applications for iOS and Android devices, and a Facebook application that allows artists to list upcoming concerts on their Facebook page.
