Upcoming Metal Concerts

Collect upcoming metal concerts and festivals worldwide via concerts-metal.com.

First run

On first run, skill-config.json is created with default settings. The default country is Spain (ES). Tell the user this and ask them which country they'd like to use. To see all supported country codes, run:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/events.py --list-countries

Then update country in {baseDir}/skill-config.json to the user's chosen code before collecting.

Usage

Run the collector to scrape and accumulate concert data into data/concerts.json:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/events.py

The --country flag overrides the config for a single run without changing it:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/events.py --country DE

Re-running merges new concerts without duplicates and flags previously-seen future concerts that disappear from the source as potentially cancelled. Each record contains date, artists, venue, city, url, discovered_at, and status ("active" or "cancelled").

Changing settings

All settings live in {baseDir}/skill-config.json:

{
  "country": "ES",
  "concert_days": 200
}

| Key | What it does | How to change | |-----|-------------|---------------| | country | ISO country code to scrape. | Set to any code from --list-countries (e.g. "DE", "US", "GB"). | | concert_days | How many days ahead to look for concerts. | Set to any positive integer (e.g. 90 for ~3 months, 365 for a year). |

When the user asks to change their country or lookahead window, edit the relevant key in {baseDir}/skill-config.json directly.

Data files

All data lives in data/ (gitignored):

  • concerts.json β€” accumulated concert records
  • Notes

  • No API key required. Data is sourced from concerts-metal.com broadcast pages.
  • Coverage is excellent for metal, punk, hardcore, and adjacent genres across 50+ countries.
