Nokia has unveiled a location based music application called Gig Finder which lets users search for music concerts, buy tickets and learn about other bands they might like. The app works off the GPS on handsets to find gigs near the user’s current location. Whether its international music stars, critical darlings, or upcoming buzzmakers, Gig Finder brings you smart recommendations and helps you find the information you need to get the best tickets for music events right from your phone.

Key features include:

• Easy Search. Quickly find where to find the best concerts & other music events near you.
• Search by artist, genre, city, venue, specific date, date range or a combination of any.
• Buy Tickets. Direct links connect your mobile to various ticket vendors to conveniently find the best seats & prices
• Smart Recommendations. Get recommendations for live events and venues based on your music tastes (profile & on device music library) and location
• Get Directions. See where the event is and how to get there with a direct link from Maps.
• Start the Buzz. Share information about the gig to Facebook, SMS, or Email.
• Download Music. Events link directly to the artist pages in Nokia Music Store / Ovi Music (when available in your country) so you can preview or download music before or after seeing your favorite artists live.

Works with Nokia devices based on S60 5th Edition: Nokia N97, N97 mini, X6, 5800, 5530 & 5230.
