Sunday noon start - #Cranksgiving at #SomervilleBikeKitchen in #SomervilleMA supporting #SomervilleHomelessCoalition
"Part bike ride, part food drive, part scavenger hunt. Participants will register and receive a manifest of grocery stores around the Somerville/Cambridge area as well as a list of food items that are needed at the Somerville Homeless Coalition. You can ride in groups or solo to each of the grocery stores and pickup as many of the items as you can carry back with you. You can also choose to race! SBK will host an afterparty and prizes will be given for categories such as fastest and most food donated."

EDIT sorry, my gut reaction was neither kind nor helpful! I mean, if you can find a trusted data source, yeah, but both 'if' and 'trusted' are load bearing.
I went and checked the awesome-falsehoods site to see if there's something speaking to why concert/event tracking at a larger scale (if you want to track 100+ bands) is a not-solved Difficult and labor intensive problem, didn't find one. There are a LOT of failed projects and startups in this arena over the last couple decades. There is history.
Your best bet these days, in my experience, is getting on the mailing lists of bands you like and venues relatively nearby you. grep'ing those mails for your cities or bands might get you more accurate. YMMV, would love to be shown otherwise.
