SL Show List

Concert alerts by text

Never miss your favorite bands when they come to town.

Show List is a text-message service that helps you stay on top of upcoming concerts. Add any band to your list, set your US zip code, and we'll text you when they announce a show within driving distance. No app to install and no account to create — the whole thing runs over plain SMS.

About Show List

Show List is operated by Tom Murphy out of Oakland, California, and has been running since 2026. It's a dedicated concert-alert service, powered by a daily automated check of public concert and ticketing data so your band list stays current without any work on your part.

How it works

  1. Text START to our number with the bands you want to follow and your 5-digit US zip code.
  2. Once a day, the service checks for newly announced shows by those bands.
  3. If there's a match within driving distance of your zip, you get a text with the show details — venue, city, and date.
  4. Add or drop bands anytime by texting us; reply STOP to leave the service entirely.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost?
Show List is free to use. Standard message and data rates from your carrier may apply.
How often will you text me?
Only when one of your bands announces a nearby show — typically 0–3 messages per week, depending on how many bands you follow and whether they're touring.
How do I stop?
Reply STOP to the toll-free number at any time. That immediately removes your record from the service. Reply HELP for a list of commands.
What information do you keep?
Only your phone number, your zip code, and the bands you follow. We never sell or share it. See our Privacy Policy.
