Apple offers concert discovery features on Apple Maps, Apple Music, Spotlight Search, and Shazam exclusively to artists using Bandsintown.

To take advantage of these features and reach more fans across Apple services, simply connect your Apple Music artist page to Bandsintown and make sure your event listings are up to date.

On the web, visit music.apple.com and enter the name of the artist in the search box.

Click on the artist’s name or image to visit their Apple Music page, and take note of the URL in your browser–that is the Apple Music artist page URL.

The URL should have a format similar to this:

On the Apple Music app, navigate to the artist page, then click on the three dots on the right side, and choose Share Artist–this will copy the artist page URL to your device’s clipboard.

Apple Music Set Lists allow you to build playlists of your set lists from any upcoming or past performances listed on Bandsintown using any of your tracks available on Apple Music.

Turn a set list from your latest show into a playlist on Apple Music for Artists on the web. Share your Set List playlist with fans on Apple Music and social media to promote upcoming tour dates, let fans relive your concerts, and connect with listeners.

Shazam is a third-party mobile app for iOS and Android that recognizes the music around you—for example on a TV or radio, in a restaurant or gym, or on social media. Listeners can then engage with the track or artist once it has been recognized.

If you have an artist page on Shazam, you can seamlessly share your Bandsintown events with Shazam users. Shazam pulls the information directly from your Bandsintown event listings, if you’ve connected your Apple Music artist page, and your events are synchronized with Shazam daily. With over 300 million monthly active users worldwide, it's a great way to share your music with even more fans.

From the Bandsintown for Artists dashboard, click on Profile and add your Apple Music artist page URL. Learn how to find your Apple Music URL.

Next, visit the Events section and be sure all of your upcoming shows are listed—this is the data Shazam uses to retrieve your events.

Shazam pulls all published events associated with your Bandsintown artist page and displays them all each time a user discovers your music on Shazam. There is no limit or restriction to the number of events that can be displayed.

If you add or remove an event or update an existing one, your changes will appear on Shazam within 24-48 hours. To submit an urgent modification request, email us at artistsupport@bandsintown.com

If you do not see your events on Shazam, or if you do not see your changes reflected, double check that your Apple Music artist page URL has been added to the Links section of your Bandsintown Profile and wait 48 hours for the changes to be reflected. If the URL has been added for more than 48 hours and you still do not see your events, email us at artistsupport@bandsintown.com.

Shazam automatically displays events listed on your Bandsintown page within the Shazam app when a user discovers your music.

Events are displayed on your Shazam artist profile under Upcoming Concerts or Concerts Nearby, and also on a user’s Shazam home screen under Events Near You.

Fans can view upcoming shows, browse available tickets, add concerts to their calendars, learn more about the venue, and listen to songs to get ready for your show. Fans even have the option to “Save” your concerts.

When fans visit Shazam.com, they can explore concerts happening in their neighborhood or around the world and see additional details around concerts, including ticket availability, date, venue, and time.

Events listed on your Shazam artist page include a link that may point either straight to the ticket provider’s website or to the corresponding Bandsintown event page, at the sole discretion of Shazam.

On the Bandsintown event page, fans can find ticketing information and purchase options as well as subscribe to ticket inventory alerts and reminders.

Apple Maps uses Bandsintown concert data to showcase upcoming events when fans search for venues.

When fans search for venues on Apple Maps, they can tap the Tickets button on the venue's business listing and select Shazam in order to see a list of upcoming shows at that venue. Fans can tap on any event to see more information, add it to their calendar, buy tickets, or view more information on the Bandsintown event page.

To ensure your events show up on Apple Maps, click on Profile from the Bandsintown for Artists dashboard and add your Apple Music artist page URL. Learn how to find your Apple Music URL.

Apple Maps also features over 65 curated Guides highlighting the best venues to experience live music in some of the world’s leading culture hubs. Users can access concert pages for these leading venues when browsing Guides by city, genre, or music scene, and tapping “Find out more.” Learn more.

Spotlight Search on iPhone is an easy way to find information on your phone and across the web by swiping down on the middle of your home screen and typing what you’re looking for in the search bar.

Fans can use Spotlight Search to find upcoming shows when they search for select artist names and discover dedicated concert pages by tapping any of the upcoming show dates in the concerts section on an artist’s search result.
