Yes. CatchWorm sends free concert alerts by email, so you don’t need a social media account. Search for an artist, open their page and choose Set alerts. Select the updates you want, choose your country or Worldwide, then sign in to save your preferences. Your saved preferences control your emails; switching the country or World tab only changes what you browse. We check available sources, including artist websites, public social posts and ticket-provider listings. Coverage varies by artist, alerts may not be immediate, and saving alerts doesn’t automatically email you every show already listed.

Track artistsHow to hear about tours without social media

Yes. When setting up artist alerts, choose Worldwide or the country shown in your preferences. Alerts follow your artists across that country or worldwide, rather than within a city radius. Worldwide is useful if you’re willing to travel for a show. The country and World tabs on the feeds control what you browse; your saved alert preferences control your emails.

Try searching the artist’s full name and selecting the correct result. CatchWorm isn’t limited to the artists shown in Explore artists, but our sources may not list every performer or show. If something is missing, send us the artist’s name and an official announcement link through Contact.

Contact us

On the artist’s CatchWorm page, choose Set alerts and select Tickets going on sale. We send updates when our available sources report a qualifying change. For a sale you don’t want to miss, also set a reminder for the seller’s published sale time and time zone.

Find your artist

No. On sale means the sale has started; it doesn’t confirm that tickets remain. Tickets available reflects availability information from our sources or checks and can change. The ticket seller confirms what you can buy and the final price at checkout.

Start with the artist’s official website and the instructions on the ticket seller’s event page. Some presales require registration, fan-club membership or eligibility with a sponsor. CatchWorm alerts don’t give you a presale code, priority access or a guaranteed ticket.

Ticketmaster’s presale guidancePresale tips without social media

Sometimes. Extra allocations or returned tickets may become available, but there’s no guarantee. Check the official seller’s waiting list where offered. You can choose alerts for tickets back on sale from the official seller. We don’t monitor resale marketplaces or send resale alerts. Coverage depends on the information available to us; the seller confirms the ticket type and availability.

Skiddle’s waiting-list guidance

No. CatchWorm helps you discover shows and links you to ticket sellers. You choose and pay for tickets on the seller’s website. Check the seller’s current availability, prices and terms before buying, and contact that provider about payments, bookings or refunds.

No. CatchWorm adds no fees. We may earn commission from the ticket seller if you buy through a partner link. The seller sets ticket prices and any booking charges, which you can review before paying.

Open the show’s event page to explore travel options and somewhere to stay. Check the exact performance date and venue before booking. Travel times and prices are estimates, and you complete bookings with the provider you choose.

Explore artists and shows

Compare your last train or bus with the venue’s published show times, allowing time to leave and reach the station. If getting home looks tight, an overnight stay may help. Check accommodation location, check-in arrangements and cancellation terms before booking.

Our sources include artist websites, Instagram announcements and event listings from ticket providers such as Ticketmaster and Skiddle. Announcement cards link to a source where one is recorded. Photo-credit links identify the image’s creator and licence; they aren’t the source of the tour news.

An announcement may describe a tour date range and several cities without matching each show to a date and venue. We display individual show cards when we have that detail. We don’t treat every day in a tour date range as a confirmed performance.

Check that email alerts are on, the artist is followed, and your alert types and country preferences match the update. Check your junk folder too. Alerts depend on new information from our sources; following an artist doesn’t automatically email every show already listed.
