Amazon Music Partners with Bandsintown to Bring Concert Listings to Fans
Amazon Music is now teaming up with Bandsintown to improve how its users experience live music. This new partnership allows users to find concerts and other events easily from the app.
What the Partnership Offers
Through this partnership, Bandsintown’s concert discovery services will become integrated into Amazon Music. Specifically, users can see local concert dates for artists and songs they have previously listened to. They will also receive current information about local concert dates and tours for their favorite artists through the app. So, users no longer need multiple apps to keep track of concerts.
Personalized Concert Discovery
One of the most important aspects of this partnership is the level of personalization. For instance, in addition to receiving concert recommendations for artists that they already listen to or follow, users will receive updated information about tour dates and venues, and when tickets will be available for upcoming shows. As a result, users are able to be prepared and make plans ahead of time.
Benefits for Artists
This relationship is beneficial to artists as well. Primarily, artists are able to interact with fans who already listen to their music. In addition to providing artists with additional opportunities to promote their music, this partnership expands the exposure for concerts and ticket sales for artists. Thus, musicians are able to create a better connection to their fan base.
The Bigger Picture
The integration between Amazon Music and Bandsintown supports an emerging trend within the music industry – music streaming is more than just audio; music streaming services are developing into video and live events.
A number of other music-related industries have also begun collaborating to create new levels of interactivity between listening to music on digital platforms, such as streaming services, and enjoying the accompanying experience of attending a show or concert in person.
The integration of both music and physical entertainment experiences now makes Amazon Music a more complete entertainment platform.
Final Thoughts
The partnership between Amazon Music and Bandsintown benefits both the listener and the artist. As music continues to be a primary focus for streaming services, discovering live music will also help to drive growth.
The integration between the two services provides fans with a simpler transition from listening to experiencing live music.
