MAGNIFI Transforms Live Music Services By Integrating Listening, Show Listings, And Ticketing -- Into One Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MAGNIFI, a global music platform connecting fans, venues and artists, today announces the latest features aimed at transforming live music services. MAGNIFI combines show listings, an immersive listening experience, artist and venue discovery, as well as ticket purchasing -- all in one place.

"It's evident that streaming music is a vehicle to get fans to live shows, where artists generate the majority of their income," says CEO Toby Gabriner. "But for music fans, going to shows is an extremely fragmented experience. It requires four or more steps which include listening to artists, searching for shows, organizing with friends, and then finally buying tickets. That's too many hurdles to go through before experiencing great live music. MAGNIFI makes it simple for fans to get to shows by combining everything they need on one platform."

New Features on MAGNIFI:

• Enhanced Show Listings – Fans can access show listings from touring artists performing at venues of all sizes across the globe. The listings can be customized by location, genre and date range through a personalized "Shows For You" feature.
• New Music Player – Fans can listen to (1) playlists of artists performing nearby, (2) playlists by venue or festival, (3) playlists of what's trending by genre as curated by the MAGNIFI community, and (4) playlists of their favorite songs.
• In-App Ticket Purchasing and Show Reminders – Fans can purchase tickets without ever leaving the MAGNIFI platform. Additionally, they can easily add show reminders to their calendar and share the event with friends.
