I've added an exciting new feature to FanConcert: you can list just the concerts close to you. Since it's a personalized feature, to try this out you need to sign up for a FanConcert account -- don't worry, it's free to sign up and I won't give your information to anyone.

Here's how it works:

1. Tag your favourite bands.
2. Fill out your profile, including your latitude and longitude.
3. Fill out your preferences, specifically the first one: Only list concerts that are less than X kilometres/miles from you.
4. Verify that your location and concert range are correct by looking at the map in your profile. If you don't see a map, you didn't enter the latitude and longitude correctly.

Then check out the list of concerts for your favourites. Only the concerts within the range you put in preferences will be shown. Neat eh?

If you don't see any concerts either (i) you don't have enough favourites or (ii) those favourites aren't playing a concert in your area soon or (iii) the band's concerts haven't been entered into FanConcert yet.

You can enter the band's concerts for others to know about -- that's the whole spirit of FanConcert: Music News by Fans for Fans. Think of FanConcert as a large and organized link blog that everyone can submit to and read. To add concerts for a band, go to the band's page in FanConcert (search for it) and click on the "Add a Concert" link.

If the band/artist isn't in FanConcert yet, you can add it!
