Question: Finding Concerts Made Easy.

LosAngelesConcertFilter: Is there some site that lists all the live acts playing at various venues around town, broken down by date?

Like, if I want to see who is playing this weekend in LA I can just hop on to this wonderful site and it'll show me who is at The Wiltern, Spaceland, Bowl, etc.?

I realize I could just hop around from site to site but you don't know me and here's the thing: I'm lazy and I like things to be made as easy as possible for me.

Yes, I could also flip through the Weekly.

But seriously, there has to be something else that's even easier than that.

Pollstar is the industry bible, and has a very comprehensive database. It may not go all the way down to who is playing for 15 people at a bar, but it's pretty good. Not just in LA, but all over the place.

As JakeWalker said, all you need is POLLSTAR. Sort by city, then you can see every act in town by date/venue/whatever.

Do you use iTunes? There's a plugin (it works as one of the Visualizers) that shows a calendar of shows for all of the artists in your iTunes library who are playing within some radius of a zip code you can specify. It also lists album releases. iConcertcal for Mac OS X and Windows.

Upcoming.org? It's user driven, so it will have a lot of smaller-scale stuff.

SonicLiving and tourb.us are also options, and Last.fm also has concert listings these days.
