    I would love to see this. I have seen over 200 concerts and would prefer to manage them on concert archives. However, I've already logged them all on Setlist.FM. This would save me the effort of the manual pull and truly transition to using Concert Archives only.

    Hi Justin, thanks for providing this additional detail about Setlist.fm. I now see there is more than 1 way to catalog a concert. I think your idea for matching up concerts in both Setlist.fm and CA is a great idea and I appreciate you proposing it.

    It would be a start, at least. But I don't know how extensive your database of past concerts is. Your site might be missing shows from less popular bands, smaller cities, etc.

    Just joined today and I see this request is from 2016. Not encouraging. I have all my data in setlist.fm. Manually importing my 100+ concerts is not a good use of my time. So far, I would say that 20-25% of the shows I went to that are in setlist.fm are not here or Songkick. Ain't no way I'm going to go through that process again (I added quite a few into setlist.fm).

    Thanks for the suggestion! One issue is that Setlist.fm treats every set/artist as it's own 'concert'. In other words, if 3 bands played at a concert, Setlist.fm treats all 3 of those sets as 3 different concerts. Concert Archives treats all 3 of those sets as part of a single concert. It'd be pretty tricky to import that data from Setlist.fm without creating a ton of single-band concerts.

    your site will grow quicker because you allow importing of music collection..... concert collection and other ...take me a few hours to import my entire collection manualy
