Merging Bands/ Artists into one listing
Merge multiple listings of the same artist due to misspelling or typos
9 votesI released a feature called ‘Aliases’ a couple of weeks ago that helps solve this. We can now set ‘Aliases’ for bands, locations, and venues behind the scenes. For example, the official spelling is “blink-182”, but a lot of people enter it as “Blink 182”, which caused there to be duplicate listings. Now the “blink-182” listing has an alias of “Blink 182” (amongst others), so any time somebody enters “Blink 182” it’ll automatically get corrected and applied to “blink-182”. This works for Locations (“Portland, OR” vs “Portland, Oregon”) and Venues as well.
You can email me a list of aliases to be entered to support@concertarchives.org or use the ‘Report Issue’ link in the site navigation.

rules
Clearly post a set of rules for adding submissions. I have already seen too many submissions wherein the user has decided to Title an event with the band/venue/date information that populates those respective fields.
For instance: The Maine at The Fillmore Silver Spring (October 13, 2018)
Should only be The Maine. The format of the webpage will show us the concert's date (far-left column) and venue (right column) without this needing to be repeated in the Title.

Include tour info
When I click on a concert I attended it’d be nice to see what your it was from. This could be synced from setlist as well if it’s not on song kick.
1 voteThe concert’s Title field is to be used for the Tour Name if there isn’t any other specific concert name (like a festival name for example).

include link to band page from user archives
If I'm looking at my own archive and click on the name of a band, I'd like it to redirect me to that band's page, not to my own stats about them. (Or if it must first redirect me to my own stats about them, then from THERE I'd like to be able to click a link to visit their page.)
This feels like a more natural thing to do than going up to the "browse all archives" button and just typing in a random band you've thought of.
3 votesI added some additional links like you mentioned from the “user’s band page” to the main band page. Hopefully that helps. Thanks for the suggestion!

Spotify / YouTube integration with matching live sets
A Spotify / YouTube integration that matches either specific concerts or tours to Concerts and Bands seen would be fantastic.
4 votesYou can now play the setlist of a concert via Spotify! Just click the ‘Play setlist on Spotify’ button next to the setlist on the concert page. Hopefully YouTube integration will be coming soon too :)

fix setlists for multiday concerts.
Currently only setlists for bands playing on the first day of a multiday concert entry are displayed. To correctly link other bands' setlists, you need to specify different date.
3 votesThis was fixed a few months back. The system will now check for setlists for all days of a multi-day concert.

Import concerts from Excel file
Using a similar format to the export file, allow for import of concert lists. Many of us have long lists of concerts, this would be much easier and quicker than manually entering them all.
19 votesThis has been added! You can now import concerts into your archive from a CSV spreadsheet. More details and a link are included in the Release Notes: https://www.concertarchives.org/release-notes

Add a feature to link Songkick account
I used to track the shows I went to on Songkick. Since the concerts already pull from their database, it would be great to transfer over shows I marked as attended on there
4 votesThis has been added :)
Under the “+ Add Concert” menu, there is an option to import the concerts from your Songkick account.

3 votesIf you find duplicates, please use the ‘Report Issue’ link in the navigation and we can combine them.

Specify artists seen at festival
Allow me to specify which artists I saw at a festival so my artist counts are more correct
37 votesThis is already possible by creating a new Concert from scratch by entering the info manually rather than using the Past Concert Search Engine.
One other good tip is to create a separate Concert for each day of the festival and the system will do a better job at finding the artist setlists.

Please add an option to add FUTURE concerts with wishlist option :)
Ideally I would like to add planning concert I have tickets already. It can be just a wishlist, or calendar view. Then I would like to click on Archive button to move particular concert.
1 voteI just added quite a few new features around ‘upcoming concerts’. You can see more details on the Release Notes here: https://www.concertarchives.org/release-notes
I also added the “Bucket List” feature a few months ago that is like a wishlist.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Omit Missed Acts
Add a function to omit bands on a line-up that you missed/skipped. Often times, I'll go to a show with 4 acts on it, but end up late and miss the openers. Don't wanna list bands on my page I missed.
7 votesThis is complete and live on the site :)

Tales from the Show!
Stories about the show!

allow me to limit concert search to concerts in concertarchives.org
It would be nice if the songkick integration was optional (via checkbox or something)
1 voteIf you use the search box on the main concerts page (https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts), it will only search concerts on the Concert Archives site (not Songkick). This native search isn’t super powerful but it might suffice for what you need.

link from "my-artist-view" page to "general-artist-view" page
I notice there's two different "artist-view" pages. The one I call "my artist view" which shows only the shows I've been to for that artist (e.g. http://www.concertarchives.org/bsammon/bands/girl-talk) and the one I call the "general artist view" which shows all the shows that concertarchives.org knows about for the artist.
It would be nice if I could navigate from one to the other (I'm especially interested in going from "my-artist-view" to "general-artist-view") via some method other than manually editting the URL. The link could be titled something like "see all concerts"
1 voteI added some additional links like you mentioned from the “user’s artist view” to the main artist page. Hopefully that helps. Thanks for the suggestion!

Missing concerts on main list of users' profiles
I notice that when I go either to my concert list or another person's concert list it doesn't show all of their concerts attended of you click on the person's username. Like there's no page 2 or 3 and so on. I notice that when I go either to my concert list or another person's concert list it doesn't show all of their concerts attended of you click on the person's username. Like there's no page 2 or 3 and so on. Is this a bug or something? I know that people will only check the main list on people's…
2 votesI added a link below the Concert list on the user’s profile page to make it more obvious that there are additional concerts to view.
