The partnership comes at a time when artists and venues face rising costs and increased competition, with 150,000 more concerts in 2023 than in 2022, based on Bandsintown data. As fans continue to demand authentic, community-driven experiences, Bandsintown and Spotify are teaming up to bridge the gap and ensure every artist gets their deserved spotlight with Spotify having increased impressions for live events across its platform by 10x in the last 12-months alone.
"Bandsintown is on a mission to help artists get discovered and sell out shows. With Spotify on board, we are bringing artists and fans closer in a world where every show counts, and every fan matters," said Fabrice Sergent, co-founder and managing partner of Bandsintown.
Already trusted by over half a million musicians, the free Bandsintown for Artists platform gives artists full control of their event listings, providing a more complete and accurate pipeline of data to Spotify. By simply linking their Spotify profiles and publishing their shows on Bandsintown, artists can instantly amplify their reach through Spotify's live event listings now available on several key surfaces across the platform, including artist pages, the dedicated Live Events Feed, and the Now Playing View.
"Our partnership with Bandsintown reinforces our commitment to help artists connect with and monetize their fanbases. With more concert listings and data directly sourced from artists, this integration gives artists more control to update their tour schedules on Spotify and ultimately improves the fan experience of discovering and purchasing tickets," said Jon Ostrow, Associate Director, Growth & Discovery, Live Events at Spotify.
