Search the artist, not the homepage
Open Radar Find and type the artist you actually want. Ticketmaster and Skiddle listings come back with venue and date so you are not copying posters into Notes.
City browse is for “what is on in Manchester this month”, not for following one band. Use both, but do not mix them in your head.
Save before you buy
If a gig is a maybe, add it to the diary as upcoming. That is your shortlist. Buy later from the official ticket link — Find is discovery, not a checkout.
When you go, the same card becomes a past gig. No second app for “shows I might attend”.
Why this ranks as a gig finder, not a clashfinder
Festival clash tools are for weekends with six stages. Most of your year is one room, one headline, one support. A UK gig finder is for those Tuesdays.
Radar is both, but the daily habit is Find plus diary. That is the query “gig finder app” is actually asking.
