Spotify previously added a Concerts section, which allowed music fans to find their favourite artists tour tickets easily. However, now, you can find who is touring near you. Perhaps it’s time to discover some new artists.
Spotify has long been a platform to boost discovery and promote artists. The platform offers a place for artists of all backgrounds to share their music and create their own fan base. Discovery is a big part of their push, hoping to boost smaller artists into the spotlight.
Their aim also, is to make the music scene seamless. Providing a space for music listeners to discover, and follow through with this discovery. Once they find a new artist, they can go on to watch their music videos, or even buy tickets to see them on tour.
With the use of AI, Spotify has become a place where you can find new artists based on your music taste, all without having to do any of the hard work. All you need to do is stream your favourite music, and the platform will work on new suggestions for you.
Your music taste and listening habits get analysed, and you’ll start to notice personalised playlists and suggestions being made. Now, you’ll see a new feature, tour suggestions. Not only will the platform suggest artists you might like, but you’ll also be told about upcoming shows.
Gig suggestions tailored to your location
The best part is, these tailored suggestions will be based upon your location. You’ll see gigs advertised close to where you live. Being able to stay on top of what’s going on in the local area. Concerts Near You is a new addition, which will show songs by artists nearby.
If there’s a tour coming up in your area, you’ll see 30 songs from the performing artist. These songs will be updated every 30 days. You’ll be able to see even details, and even ticket links, so if you fall in love with a new artist, you can go and see them perform.
This new feature could help artists sell out tours. It can be hard without the large funding to promote a concert effectively. But, by getting your gig featured on Spotify, you might find more and more people filling up the event.
