Spotify has launched a new personalized playlist aimed at helping users discover upcoming concerts in their area.
Titled “Concerts Near You,” the playlist refreshes every Wednesday with 30 songs from artists scheduled to perform nearby, complete with event details and ticket links.
Spotify partners with ticketing platforms such as AXS, DICE, Eventbrite, and Ticketmaster to provide seamless access to ticket purchases. The playlist is tailored to users’ listening habits, similar to Spotify’s other personalized offerings like “Daylist” and “Mixes.”
To receive the latest concert updates, users must enable location sharing via the “Live Events” section under the Search tab in the Spotify app. The company also recommends turning on push notifications and following favorite artists to receive personalized reminders.
This initiative underscores Spotify’s growing emphasis on event discovery, aiming to enhance the overall listening experience while boosting visibility for artists. The launch follows Spotify’s release of its annual Loud & Clear report, which details artist earnings on the platform. According to the report, for the first time in 2024, an artist receiving one in every million streams on Spotify earned an average of over $10,000.
