In June 2015, Songkick merged with CrowdSurge, an artist ticketing services provider, with the combined company operating under the Songkick name.

The company launched its first mobile application in 2011. Songkick's initial business model, based on its concert discovery service, was based on referral fees from ticketing companies. Songkick was founded in 2007 by Ian Hogarth, Michelle You and Pete Smith as part of the 2007 Y Combinator program, a seed accelerator that focuses on technology start-ups. In 2012, Songkick launched Tourbox, a tool for artists or artist teams to manage and distribute their live event dates worldwide, across multiple digital platforms. In 2017, the Songkick concert discovery service and brand was sold to WMG, while the ticketing assets were sold to Live Nation Entertainment in 2018 to settle a lawsuit with the company. In 2015, it merged with CrowdSurge-a company that provided services for running and managing ticket sales on behalf of artists. The company was first established in 2007 as a Y Combinator-backed startup. It also provides services for artist teams to manage and promote tour dates globally. The service allows users to search for upcoming concert events in their area, and also track individual artists to receive notifications of upcoming shows in their area. Songkick is a concert discovery service owned by Warner Music Group.
