Spotify does give you gigs in your area. You go to browse, and then the "concerts" tab.
You can't change the location though, it's based off device location.

You can search by city in both the mobile app and desktop app to take a look at concerts outside of your area. Really handy. They mostly show only artists who you listen to frequently/genres you like

You're right. There's a great big button you can click to change your location. I guess I've just never clicked it so I forgot about it.

Hey thanks for the info. And yeah, I just wanted to provide a different way to discover new music instead of some algorithm. I think a venue’s calendar is just another nice way to do this. Enjoy.
Someone at the SXSW Hackathon two weeks ago worked on a similar thing [1]. The difference in their project was that it looked at the artists you listened to and then created a list of artists that you would know who would be coming to the venue.
I like your idea in that you're creating a channel for people to discover new bands.
