Amazon Music partners with Bandsintowns for concert listings

Amazon Music said today that it is partnering with live event listing platform Bandsintown to bring concert listings to its music streaming service.

Through a Bandsintown for Artists integration, users will be able to find live shows on the artists’ profile pages on Amazon Music. They can also click on the “buy ticket” buttons to purchase tickets on Bandsintown. (Artists will need to link their Amazon Music profile for the first time on Bandsintown for event sync to begin.)

What’s more, Amazon Music will automatically list events from venues, festivals, and promoters using Bandsintown Pro on its platform.

“Live music is one of the most powerful ways fans connect with the artists they love—something we’ve seen firsthand through the livestream performances we’ve brought to fans worldwide,” said Karolina Joynathsing, Director of Business Development, Amazon Music, in a statement. “That’s why we’re thrilled to team up with Bandsintown, so fans can now discover upcoming shows from the artists they love on Amazon Music, alongside streaming their music, catching exclusive livestreams, shopping merch, and more, all in one place,” she said.

The feature is rolling out now and will be fully available on Amazon Music this spring on both iOS and Android apps, the company notes.

Bandsintown said that it has more than 700,000 artists on the platform, along with over 65,000 venues using its Bandsintown Pro marketing and promotion product. It added that more than 100 million users are registered on the platform, but didn’t specify the number of active users.

Previously, Bandsintown had partnered with Amazon Music in 2023 to let artists sell merchandise on the music streaming platform. Amazon Music is relatively late to the concert discovery. Spotify has been working on it for years and Apple Music teamed up with Ticketmaster to power its live events feature in March. Last year, Soundcloud also worked with Ticketmaster to let artists list their live events.
