YouTube videos just revolutionized how billions discover live music worldwide.

The music discovery landscape is evolving dramatically as YouTube becomes the exclusive concert source for billions of viewers. This groundbreaking partnership with Bandsintown, as discussed in our recent SXSW industry insights, marks a pivotal moment in how fans connect with live music.

As a performer who’s graced stages from the Royal Opera House to TEDx, I’ve witnessed firsthand how crucial concert discovery is. Just last month, I stumbled upon my next gig opportunity through a YouTube video recommendation – talk about serendipity! The platform’s reach is truly transformative for artists like me.

YouTube Videos Revolutionize Concert Discovery

In a groundbreaking move, Bandsintown has become YouTube’s exclusive concert source, connecting billions of music fans to live events. The integration delivers information on 2.3 million concerts yearly, featuring over 700,000 registered artists and 65,000 venues.

Fans can now discover shows while watching their favorite youtube videos, exploring Shorts, and browsing Official Artist Channels. YouTube’s Senior Director Jay Fowler announced exciting new features, including notifications for upcoming releases, merch drops, and event dates. This integration extends to YouTube Music later this year.

The partnership creates equal opportunities for artists worldwide. Superstar Sabrina Carpenter already leverages these tools to share tour dates with her 12 million YouTube subscribers. Plus, Bandsintown users get a sweet deal – a 2-month free trial of YouTube Premium for ad-free music enjoyment.
