NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bandsintown, the leading global live music discovery platform, has become the exclusive provider of concert listings on YouTube and YouTube Music, marking a powerful shift in how fans discover live music.
YouTube's massive global audience of billions of monthly users can now easily discover concerts while watching artist videos and Shorts, exploring Official Artist Channels, and soon, while also browsing the YouTube homepage. This Bandsintown partnership with YouTube also unlocks a new push notification feature, alerting users to nearby concerts and upcoming shows, bringing the live music discovery experience directly to fans. Later this year, the integration expands to YouTube Music, where live events will appear on YouTube Music home and artist pages. Bandsintown users also have access to a 2-month free trial of YouTube Premium, letting fans enjoy their favorite videos and music ad-free, offline and in the background across YouTube and the YouTube Music app.
Available free to artists worldwide, the integration enables tour listings published by artists on Bandsintown for Artists to automatically display on YouTube, vastly increasing visibility and helping generate ticket sales vital to sustaining artist careers. Venues, festivals, and promoters subscribed to Bandsintown Pro also benefit from having their events seamlessly distributed on YouTube.
"At a time when musicians continue to struggle to generate income, this exclusive integration with YouTube further demonstrates Bandsintown's ethos to create value and equal opportunity for artists worldwide, of all sizes and genres, to get discovered on digital platforms and sell more tickets," said Fabrice Sergent, Bandsintown co-founder and Managing Partner.
On tour now and fresh off a successful headlining performance at Lollapalooza, pop icon Sabrina Carpenter is the featured artist for the partnership.
