Spotify Enables Users to Search and Follow Venues
The streamer is building on its Concerts Near You feature
Spotify is giving Free and Premium listeners the ability to follow their favorite venues, discover new spots nearby, and explore upcoming line-ups, all without leaving the app.
How it works:
Spotify now contains listings for 20,000 venues worldwide, from iconic rooms such as the Bataclan in Paris to independent clubs such as the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney.
When a listener follows a venue, it’s saved to their library and easy to find, alongside tailored suggestions for other venues they might enjoy.
Once listeners find a concert they’re interested in they can just tap through to the event’s official ticketing partner to complete their purchase.
Live feed:
The new feature follows the March launch of Concerts Near You, with the streaming giant claiming more than three million people have used it to discover events.
Its Live Events feed also has a new look, with Spotify promising “smarter recommendations” and daily updates based on what listeners are streaming, where they live, and the genres they love.
