* Wait, what, how does Songkick know what people were tweeting at concerts, are you stalkers?! Not quite – if you connect your Twitter account to Songkick we’ll post your 140 characters (or less…) on the concert page by using your upcoming events calendar to search your tweets for mentions of the artists, venue, or the hashtag #songkick on the day of the concert. Try it out next time you’re at a show!
