Sonicbids owned ArtistData is shutting down on October 14th and all artist profiles and data will be removed. The ArtistData widget will no longer be supported or fed data.[![image from cdn.evbuc.com](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b7c894f0c9970b-250wi "image from cdn.evbuc.com")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201b7c894f0c9970b-popup?ref=hypebot.com)While many artists have migrated to other platforms including ReverbNation, Songkick, BandsInTown and Sonicbids itself to spread their tour dates, we know many artists that still counted on the legacy platform. All profiles and date will be deleted, but can be exported before October 14th by following the instructions [here.](https://sonicbids.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/227320388-Can-I-get-my-data-from-the-site-?ref=hypebot.com)
