- Spotify has launched a new playlist in its Live -Event Freed called concerts near you
- The new feature will make it easier for you to see which artists are touring in your area
- In addition to including songs based on your listening habits, each song has a link that takes you to third -party booking platforms to secure tickets
Although Spotify has rubbed music fans in the wrong way with his lack of loss -free sound (I’m still waiting for you Spotify HiFi), there’s no doubt that people use it enough to still be considered one of the best music flow services. When it comes to live music, Spotify aims to bring you closer to your favorite artists with its new concerts near your playlist feature.
When you combine informative and personalized features, Spotify’s concerts near your playlist aim to help you discover upcoming concerts in your area while providing expandable track links to third -party ticket sites such as ticketmaster, AXS, watching tickets and dice so you can secure yourself somewhere in the crowd. The playlist is updated every Wednesday based on your listening habits, bringing you 30 fresh songs from artists with scheduled shows in your area.
In Spotify’s message, the platform went into detail about the app’s latest addition and claimed that “There is nothing worse than realizing your favorite artist was playing your city Last week”.
Charlie Hellman, Vice President, Global Head of Music Product added: “This new playlist not only makes it easier for fans to find shows nearby, but it also gives artists a strong new way to sell more tickets and fill venues with the audience who love their music the most.”
A useful feature but one that will have to grow on me
Since it introduced its feed-feed in the app, Spotify has doubled on his mission to bring you closer to the artists you love most while also increasing the artist’s ticket sales and exposing them to wider audiences. There is no doubt that these lists are beneficial for those who are not in the loop with local appearances and trips, but what about those who are?
Don’t get me wrong, I love using Spotify to discover new artists through features like Blends and New Music Friday Playlists. But when it comes to live music, I pretty much have my ear to earth with regard to local live music simply because I follow it by following the artists or reading live music lists on social media.
Although I do not find myself to reach Spotify’s live events, Feed often, as a means of discovering new artists, I can see how concerts near you could give you an advantage. As it stands, I’m not as lured to use this feature as others maybe, but damn, it was my first impression of day lists, and now I can’t get enough of it.
Where do i find concerts near you
It is very easy to keep track of who is performing in your area with Spotify’s concerts near your playlist, you just need to know where to look.
For starters, go to the search node in the Spotify app and press ‘Live Events’. From there you can access your personalized concerts near you playlist in the section “Discover concerts near you”.
