Warner Music has acquired Songkick’s concert recommendation app
Music discovery and ticketing company Songkick has grown in in the last decade, providing local concert recommendations to users and ticket sales for live events around the world. The company is now dividing up some of its assets, according to Billboard, and is selling its concert discovery features to the Warner Music Group.
