Apple Music has collaborated with Ticketmaster and Bandsintown to improve the concert discovery journey for its users. This partnership enables Apple Music to highlight forthcoming concerts aligned with users’ listening preferences, offering quick links for ticket purchases.
Following the recent iOS 26.4 update, Apple Music has rolled out features that allow users to find shows nearby from artists they follow. Concert dates will now automatically populate on artist profiles and in a new Concerts tab within the Search feature, simplifying the process for fans seeking live music events.
Bandsintown has indicated that artists can leverage the Bandsintown for Artists platform to display concert details in two primary sections on Apple Music: an “Upcoming Concerts” area on artist pages for those touring, and a Concerts Tab where fans can explore events by location, genre, and date. Moreover, venues, festivals, and promoters enrolled in Bandsintown Pro will see their events highlighted on Apple Music.
This integration also permits Apple Music to dispatch push notifications about local events customized to users’ listening habits. The collaboration with Ticketmaster further enriches this experience by building on their existing partnership, which already featured event listings across multiple Apple services. Users can now conveniently purchase tickets directly through a new “Get Tickets” button when viewing concert listings on Apple Music.
To utilize these features, users must have an active Apple Music subscription, priced at $10.99 per month, which includes a one-month free trial.
