nugs and Roon Partner to Bring Live Music Fans the Ultimate Music Experience

Integration delivers unified, enhanced browsing, studio quality hi res audio, and exclusive 60-day free trial offers for passionate live music fans 

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- nugs, the leading platform for live music streaming, today announced a new partnership with Roon, the acclaimed music management and playback software. The partnership redefines how live music is experienced, combining nugs' unmatched catalog of exclusive live performances with Roon's unrivaled browsing experience and playback capabilities.

The nugs concert catalog includes thousands of official concert recordings from artists like Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Phish, Billy Strings, Grateful Dead, and hundreds more.  Roon software unifies browsing of these live recordings with studio recordings from other streaming services and a user's personal files, all in a single interface that understands how fans think about music. This browsing happens on any platform, and the music can be played on any device on the network, with the best sound quality possible.

"At nugs, we've always believed that live music deserves the same quality recording as any studio recording," said Brad Serling, Founder and CEO of nugs. "Partnering with Roon takes that vision to the next level. Together, we're bringing our library of legendary live performances into an environment designed for true music fans, where they can browse, discover, organize, and enjoy all of their shows alongside the rest of their music, with unparalleled playback quality and flexibility." 

To celebrate the launch, nugs subscribers will receive a free 60-day Roon trial, while Roon subscribers can enjoy a free 60-day nugs Hi-Res trial. 

"Roon's goal has always been to find unique ways to think about how a fan interacts with a music collection. We serve the specialized needs of niche music and audio communities, people who aren't served by mainstream offerings. nugs couldn't be a more natural fit with Roon." said Rob Darling, Director of Strategy, Partnerships, at Roon. "We are so excited about this release. With the nugs integration, music fans can browse a huge world of live and studio music in one app, and play it to any device in their home, with the best sound possible."

Roon enriches the nugs experience by transforming how fans explore and enjoy their live music. Through Roon's intelligent, data-rich interface—featuring artist details, upcoming tours, and reviews—listeners can browse the nugs catalog by artist, year, or venue and experience every performance in audiophile-grade sound at home or on the go. The integration expands the value of both platforms: for nugs subscribers, it offers a new way to organize, personalize, and stream live music across a wide range of devices in lossless hi-res quality, while for Roon users, it delivers exclusive access to nugs' artist-official live recordings, bringing the energy and discovery of live performance into Roon's premium music ecosystem.
