Bandsintown Becomes YouTube’s Exclusive Concert Listings Partner

Bandsintown, the website where artists list their upcoming live dates, has announced a new exclusive partnership with YouTube and YouTube Music. This will allow artists to display tour schedules through their profiles and content, creating easy access for viewers to purchase tickets. The new pact marks Bandsintown as the sole provider of events on YouTube.

YouTube X Bandsintown:

• The tour date integration feature is available globally.

• In addition to artist profiles and content, concert listings will soon appear on YouTube’s homepage.

• There will be push notifications to alert fans about upcoming concerts.

• Artists must have an official artist channel to use the feature.

• This is the latest expansion for Bandsintown, which is now a live music data provider for Google, Spotify, Apple, and Shazam.

• The YouTube Music integration is coming later this year. Listings will show on the YouTube Music home and artist pages.

How it works:

• Create an account on Bandsintown for Artists (free), like 700K other artists have already.

• Publish your tour dates to the platform.

• Add your official artists' channel on YouTube to your Bandsintown for Artists profile section.

What they said:

• Fabrice Sergent, Bandsintown co-founder and Managing Partner: “At a time when musicians continue to struggle to generate income, this exclusive integration with YouTube further demonstrates Bandsintown's ethos to create value and equal opportunity for artists worldwide, of all sizes and genres, to get discovered on digital platforms and sell more tickets.”
