Amazon Music and Bandsintown team up for concert discovery
Amazon Music partners with Bandsintown to bring seamless concert discovery to artist pages, helping to transform streams into ticket sales.
Last month, Apple Music revealed a new concert discovery feature in partnership with Ticketmaster and Bandsintown. The move let users more easily discover concerts across the platform. Now, it looks like Amazon Music wants to join the concert discovery party too.
From streaming to sold-out shows
Concert listings from Bandsintown will now automatically appear on Amazon Music artist profiles worldwide. The aim? To make it easier than ever for fans to go from listening to an artist to seeing them live. Fans no longer need to jump between apps to find tour dates or tickets. Instead, everything sits in one place inside Amazon Music, the very place where people are listening.
As Bandsintown Co-Founder Fabrice Sergent puts it:
“Artists win when fans can find their concerts just as easily as they find their music.”
How it works
The setup is easy for artists. Once you connect your Amazon Music profile to Bandsintown for Artists, your live events will show up. Need to publish or edit a tour date? Make the changes in Bandsintown and your new dates will automatically sync.
From there, fans browsing your profile on Amazon Music will see your upcoming shows, complete with direct links to purchase tickets on Bandsintown.
The feature is rolling out now, with full availability across iOS and Android coming later this Spring.
Why this matters for artists
For artists, performing live is one of the most important revenue streams in music. This integration taps into that.
For the 700,000+ artists already using Bandsintown for Artists, the benefits are huge. By embedding concert discovery directly into streaming platforms, Amazon is helping to bridge the gap between passive streaming and live event discovery. That gives artists’ live shows more visibility, more opportunity to get discovered, and hopefully more ticket sales.
It goes beyond just Amazon Music too. Thanks to integrations across Spotify, Apple Music, Apple Maps, Shazam, YouTube, YouTube Music, Google, and others, concerts posted on Bandsintown now reach more than 4 billion monthly active users across platforms. That’s huge potential exposure for artists of any size, especially given it comes at no extra cost.
The bigger picture
This move isn’t happening in isolation. We’ve recently seen platforms increasingly lean into live events, merch, and ways to increase fan engagement. Look no further than Amazon Music and Bandsintown, who have previously partnered to bring artist merchandise to Bandsintown.
Now, by combining music, merch, and live event discovery, Amazon is building an all-in-one fan experience.
It’s a bit similar to the experience artists receive when distributing their music with RouteNote.
At RouteNote, we help artists get their music onto streaming platforms like Amazon Music while offering marketing tools like PUSH.fm to promote releases, grow audiences, and keep fans engaged beyond release day all in one place.
