Hi Everyone,

When I missed the Lenny Kravitz concert in Mexico City because I didn't hear about it until I was already there and the tickets were already sold out, I resolved to always check for concerts ahead of time so I won't miss out on any awesome concerts in foreign cities. I will be in France, Spain and Italy in April, and I can't figure out what websites to look up concerts on. Here in the US it's so easy with ticketmaster.com. Is there a website like that for each country in Europe? I'm most interested in pop/rock/alternative music... Thanks in advance.

any?

www.whatsonwhen.com

I've started for looking at the different concert venues and clubs in the cities I will be staying in. When you get to the websites, you can look and see who is playing while you are there.

www.fnac.com (choose "spectacles&quot
www.virginmega.fr (choose "billetterie&quot

For Spain, check www.servicaixa.com (musica) and www.ticktackticket.com .

It would help to know where and when are you going to be in Spain, and I could post a list of venues. Aqualung just closed last weekend in Madrid, and there are less and less venues ...

Ok, I'll be in France, Venice, Rome and Madrid. I'm having a hard time finding anything on these websites, so maybe if you guys could tell me some venues in those areas, that would help guide my search.

Does www.ticketmastereurope.com have what you need?

In the UK, we use www.ticketmaster.co.uk but you're not visiting the UK.

Where2travel: Thanks for the suggestion, but ticketmastereurope doesn't include France, Italy or Spain! If it did my task would be a lot easier.

Hi,

I checked in "El mundo" website, and there isn´t a lot going on for April. A few spanish groups, some good jazz and probably the best options are the following :

Cova,
Thanks for posting the events in Madrid. Looks like I could check out Danko Jones while I'm there.

Are there any people in Europe right now who have suggestions for websites I can look up concerts on? Especially concerts in Italy?

Thanks Kerouac. Looks like a bust for Paris. I'm there march 31-april 4, and I don't recognize any names on those dates. I'll have to console myself with romantic walks along the seine and madelines or something.

Too bad. There are quite a few top French, European and World music stars playing in Paris during that period. Unfortunately, I always forget how limited the access to different music is in America, so there is little chance that you could have an interest in discovering something new.

Kerouac: Rude! I like to discover new things. In fact, I listen to the U-Pop (international pop music) station on XMradio quite frequently. Why don't you recommend some of your favorites that will be performing in April and I can sample some of their music online and decide if I want to see them live.

Kerouac..thanks for the list...I am anxiously awaiting acknowledgment of a Springsteen rumored date in Paris of May 11, the day before I have to come home. I will be watching to see if true and trying to get tix!
