- Spotify has launched a new reading list in its live event flow called concerts near you
- The new feature will allow you to see more easily which artists are on tour in your region
- In addition to including songs based on your listening habits, each song has a link that takes you to third -party booking platforms to secure tickets
Although Spotify has rubbed music fans in the wrong direction with its lack of audio without loss (I always wait for your Spotify Hifi), there is no doubt that people use it enough for it to always be considered one of the best musical streaming services. Regarding live music, Spotify aims to bring you closer to your favorite artists with its new concerts near your Playlist feature.
By combining informative and personalized features, Spotify concerts near your reading list aim to discover the concerts to come in your region while offering extensible track links to third -party tickets such as Ticketmaster, Axes, see tickets and dice so that you can ensure a place in the crowd. La Playlist is updated every Wednesday according to your listening habits, bringing you 30 fresh songs of artists with shows scheduled in your region.
In the announcement of Spotify, the platform has entered detail on the last addition of the application saying that there is nothing worse than realizing that your favorite artist played your city last week».
Charlie Hellman, Vice-President, Music Product World Music Manager, added: “This new reading list does not only facilitate fans to find nearby shows, but he also gives artists a new powerful way to sell more tickets and fill the place with the public who likes their music the most.”
Useful feature, but that will have to grow up on me
Since he introduced his live event flow in the application, Spotify has doubled his mission to get closer to the artists you like the most, while stimulating sales of artist tickets and exposing them to a wider audience. There is no doubt that these announcements are beneficial for those who are not in the loop with concerts and local visits, but what about those who are?
Don’t get me wrong, I love to use Spotify to discover new artists through features like Blends and The New Music Friday Playlists. But with regard to live music, I have roughly my ear on the ground with regard to local live music simply because I follow myself by following the artists or by reading lists of live music on social networks.
However, even if I do not find myself reaching the live events of Spotify often feed, to discover new artists, I can see how concerts near you could give you an advantage. In the current state of things, I am not as encouraged to use this feature as others could be, but devil, it was my first impression of day lists, and now I can’t have enough.
