Live music discovery platform Bandsintown is now the exclusive provider of concert listings on YouTube and YouTube Music. The integration allows YouTube users to discover upcoming shows while watching artist videos, Shorts, and exploring Official Artist Channels. Bandsintown listings will also appear on the YouTube homepage, with expansion to YouTube Music later this year.
The partnership includes a push notification feature, alerting users to nearby concerts and upcoming shows. Tour listings published by artists on Bandsintown for Artists will automatically display on YouTube, while venues, festivals, and promoters subscribed to Bandsintown Pro will have events distributed on the platform.
Fabrice Sergent, Bandsintown co-founder and Managing Partner, said the integration supports musicians in generating income and increasing visibility. “This exclusive integration with YouTube 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,” Sergent said.
The first featured artist for the partnership is Sabrina Carpenter, who recently headlined Lollapalooza. Bandsintown’s tools allow her to showcase tour dates on her website, and YouTube integration provides additional visibility for her events.
Over the past 18 months, Bandsintown has expanded its global distribution network, becoming the preferred live music data provider for Google, Spotify, Apple, and Shazam. The platform draws concert data from over 700,000 registered artists and 65,000 venues and promoters, publishing approximately 2.3 million events annually.
