Los Angeles’ Flogging Molly, for instance, is currently on the road with acts including The Interrupters, who released a single entitled “Jailbird” today. Worth noting in conclusion is the discoverability potential (in terms of streaming and live alike) associated with the “Live Events Feed” for multi-artist shows.

Of course, Spotify has many millions of music-loving monthly active users – with a substantial portion of these individuals presumably in the market for tickets on a regular basis.Īdditionally, Spotify’s product manager for live events discovery, Sam Sheridan, elaborated that the service plans to “work to even further integrate event discovery directly into the app, whether through more advanced search tools, new playlist formats, or new integrations into key surfaces.” Plus, an image included in the formal release suggests that Spotify will email users about upcoming tour dates. Also in the long term, it’ll be interesting to see how the “Live Events Feed” fares against established players like Bandsintown, and separately, emerging alternatives to ticketing giants.
