Companies Using Bandsintown Events Widget

The Bandsintown widget is free, so I read its count as a map of artists' websites rather than a customer list, and the first question is which number to trust. Our October 2026 monthly count says 1,595 domains. By mid-October our crawl had the widget on 2,762, because in October we began recognising its newer address, widgetv3.bandsintown.com. The company and stack figures below come from those 2,762; 625 of them match to a company. On 16 October 2026 I opened every host in that live set.

What the check found

2,438 of 2,767 hosts (88.1%) loaded a working widget, 2,386 in the page source and 52 once scripts ran. 78 never answered in time, but they look slow rather than dead: of the 361 slow hosts we fetched a second time, 306 loaded the widget. 97 sat behind bot walls. 36 were dead or parked, and 37 carry only the retired bit_widget.js loader, which Bandsintown's servers now refuse with a 403. Those sites still look like Bandsintown installs to anyone reading the HTML, but no tour dates appear. Dead and retired together are 2.64% of the hosts, small enough that the count stands.

Sales signal: a site that still runs the old loader has a broken tour page. For a web designer who works with musicians, that is a specific, checkable reason to get in touch.

Who puts it on their site

In a random sample of 100 domains that carry the widget, 98 were artists' or bands' own sites or merch stores, four of them stores, and 2 were record labels. No venue, promoter or festival turned up, which fits Bandsintown's split: venues get a separate product, Bandsintown Pro. The account IDs we could read almost never repeat, and none sits on more than 4 domains. The biggest shared element is a builder. Bandzoogle, a website platform for musicians, made 80 of the 2,386 widget pages we opened, and each of those carries the artist's own Bandsintown name.

Sales signal: treat the list as one act per domain. The labels on it, Metal Blade Records, ATO Records, Ed Banger Records and Lava Records among them, are the accounts with several artists behind one site.

Flat line, bigger footprint

The monthly count reads 1,646 in June, 1,670 in July, 1,632 in August, 1,597 in September and 1,595 in October. That flat line isn't a like-for-like series: the domains we crawl turn over every month, dead sites out and new ones in, and our detection widens. In October it widened a lot. Of the 1,111 live domains first seen that month, 1,030 load the widget from widgetv3, the newer address. Since we started tracking on 16 March 2026, 439 domains dropped the widget on at least one hostname and 28 still run it on another, so 411 left it entirely.

"The widget's monthly count looks flat, but its live footprint is closer to 2,800 domains. Most of the difference is sites on Bandsintown's newer widget address, which we only began counting in October." - Elif Arslan, CMO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: size the market from the live 2,762, not the 1,595.

Small acts, wider map

89.59% of the 567 matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees, and 69.65% of those with an industry are in music or performance. Where Seated is an American tool, Bandsintown travels. The United States has 321 matched companies, but the United Kingdom has 41, France 23, the Netherlands 22 and Germany 18; the European countries in our top 15 add up to 159, about half the American figure. Only 6.25% were founded in the 2020s; 48.86% date from the 2010s and 32.95% from the 2000s.

Sales signal: for a European music service, this is a better-qualified list than Seated's, because the artists are already there.

Bandsintown next to Seated

Seated is the other tour-dates widget in our data, at 894 domains. 14 domains run both today, out of 17 ever seen with both, and Etix sits beside Bandsintown on 8 (12 ever). None of these pairs passes our switching tests. One artist's site we opened loads Bandsintown and Seated side by side, with Bandsintown's ticket links tagged with the record label's app ID, so artists add a second listing rather than drop the first.

"Artists don't treat tour widgets as either-or. Of 17 sites we've seen running Bandsintown and Seated, 14 still run both." - Elif Arslan, CMO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: Seated's sales team can work this list without displacing anything, and the 14 shared sites show the two coexist.

The stack around it

These shares are of the 2,765 live domains. WordPress runs on 54.03%, Elementor on 12.15% and WooCommerce on 11.79%; Shopify is on 22.28% and Squarespace on 7.99%. MailChimp leads email at 13.67%, with Klaviyo on 5.21%. Lodash (97.87%) and Underscore.js (97.9%) are noise for this page, because the widget's own script bundles Lodash.

Sales signal: a WordPress theme or plugin seller aimed at musicians reaches more than half this list.

What Bandsintown charges

The widget is one of Bandsintown's free artist tools, per its widget page. Artists pay for reach instead: the email builder includes 10,000 free emails a month, then $0.002 per email to the artist's own contacts and $0.06 to Bandsintown followers, according to the help centre. Boost, added in June 2026, promotes a single show across Bandsintown's app, site and emails for a one-time $50 to $500, set by venue capacity. Venues use Bandsintown Pro, which has a free tier and promoted email campaigns from $150. Bandsintown's about page claims 110 million registered users and 700,000 artists.

Sales signal: the widget costs nothing, so price isn't why artists leave it. Pitch what it doesn't do.
