Search Artists

Page number of results to retrieve

Number of events per page of results

The source and unique identifier for the artist(s).

For example to search for LCD Soundsystem events:

• artistId=jambase:228924

Use a pipe (|) to include multiple artist IDs.

For example to search for LCD Soundsystem & Khalid events:

• artistId=jambase:228924|jambase:3074545

To use non-JamBase data sources, use the ArtistDataSource [enum] for the ID(s) you are using.

For example to search for LCD Soundsystem events using their Ticketmaster ID:

• artistId=ticketmaster:K8vZ9175st0

A keyword-based search for artist name(s).

• artistName=Billie%20Eilish

Use a pipe (|) to include multiple artist names.

• artistName=Billie%20Eilish|Lucy%20Dacus

Keywords should be URL Encoded.
For more precise artist-specific results try using artistId or artist[slug].

Please note that artistName cannot be used togehter with artistId type searches and will be ignored if artistId is provided.

Restrict results to a genre.

• genreSlug=bluegrass

Use a pipe (|) to include results from multiple genres.

• genreSlug=bluegrass|blues

Set to true to only return artists that have at least one upcoming Concert or Festival

Must have been updated on or after this dateTime in GMT.

On its own, a dateModifiedFrom sweep only returns events whose dates have not yet passed — modifications to past-dated events never appear in a plain delta sweep. To catch changes to past shows, plans with geo + historical search (Enterprise baseline, or granted by request) can combine dateModifiedFrom with a geo parameter (such as geoCountryIso2) and an explicit past eventDateFrom/eventDateTo range. Two caveats: the historical index refreshes on a delay (up to about a day), so overlap historical watermarks by 24-48 hours; and a response carrying the X-JBD-Geo-Historical-Fallback header was served without past events and should be re-run after the UTC day resets.

Removal rows (tombstones carrying deletionStatus) are appended to delta sweeps. A delta filtered by artistId or venueId carries only the removal rows for events that had that artist in the lineup or were at that venue when removed, and its totals count only those. Removals with no recorded artist or venue (mostly from before 2026-10-29) and slug/name-filtered deltas carry none; to see every removal, run one unfiltered dateModifiedFrom sweep or use the 400 identifier_invalid lookup fallback.

Use true to include external IDs for Concert, Artist, and Venue objects.
Note: expandExternalIdentifiers is included on Startup and higher plans and on Trial. Looking up a record by a third-party ID (for example /v3/artists/id/spotify:{id}) works on every plan; see Reverse ID Lookup.

Use true to include sameAs (i.e. links) for Artist responses.
Note: expandArtistSameAs is included on Startup and higher plans and on Trial. Looking up a record by a third-party ID (for example /v3/artists/id/spotify:{id}) works on every plan; see Reverse ID Lookup.
