No, FB is not necessary to keep up with events (10-15 concerts/month for me, on average), but it makes it a lot easier and more convenient, especially if you follow the relevant venues and artists. It makes it very easy to invite other people to come along.

I pull my FB list of upcoming events via CalDAV to my local calendar, for local handling of reminders. So yes, I could invite people manually, but it would be a bit of a mess.

FB has all the artists and all the venues in one place. The convenience should not be underestimated.

I guess you have to ask yourself is supporting FB and ceding your privacy is worth it for... convenience.

It's a choice everyone has to make for themselves.

I have absolutely nothing on Facebook that isn't related to either bands or musical venues.
