Curious about which up and coming bands were hits at the Vesterbro festival last weekend? Have a look at the minute to minute popularity-meter above.

We* are busy preparing our amazing Imity-based concert suggester service for the Roskilde Festival.
With the help of the super friendly organizers of the local Vesterbro Festival here in Copenhagen, we put on a huge beta test over the last weekend.
We got a truly fascinating data set - as you can see above.
The bands are all local up and coming Copenhagen acts and apart from being able to tell which bands were hits at the festival you can also see how the build up worked during the concert: Some of the bands have high recognition and people flocked to those concerts from the very beginning (e.g. I Got You On Tape) - other less well known acts just put on a good show, so people showed up little by little but stayed at the concert (e.g. Teppop).
Thanks to those of you who signed up for the service at the festival. I know we had a couple of technical glitches along the way, but this was really a good and very useful experience for us. Hope you had fun too. And hope to see you again at Roskilde.

* We: That means Imity and a group of students at ITU - who are working with us on this as a term project.

Danish Newspaper Politiken has a story about the real life music recommendation service powered by Imity that we’re doing for the Roskilde Festival.

The project is coming together nicely and will get its first public test this friday and saturday at a local music festival here in Copenhagen.
