Yahoo's Upcoming service was a social events site. Yahoo! announced on April 18, 2013, that Upcoming would shut down at the end of the same month.
Closure announcement
- Sharpening our focus – to bring you new Yahoo! products
- By Jay Rossiter, EVP, Platforms
- Like we announced last month, we want to bring you experiences that inspire and entertain you every day.
