Spotify<\/a> has integrated with Dutch event management platform Stager, allowing venues and festivals to display their events directly on artists\u2019 Spotify pages, doubling down on its concert discovery features.<\/p>\n Founded in 2012, Stager<\/b>\u2019s platform allows event organizers to offer ticketing services, planning software, and marketing tools. Stager disclosed the Spotify<\/b> partnership in a recent LinkedIn post<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are expanding our system with a powerful new integration that will enable all our Stager users to list an artist\u2019s upcoming event at their venue or festival directly on their Spotify artist page,\u201d Stager said.<\/p>\n Stager says it facilitated performances for over 21,000<\/b> artists last year at venues and festivals using its platform.<\/p>\n The Spotify integration \u201cnow unlocks huge potential for event organizers to reach engaged audiences on Spotify and sell more tickets through Stager,\u201d Stager added.<\/p>\n While Spotify has not released a formal announcement about the Stager partnership, the integration marks its latest expansion into the live music space. Earlier this year, Spotify partnered<\/a> with ticketing platform Eventix<\/b>, now Weeztix<\/b>. The two companies partnered in February to host an exclusive presale for metal band Pantera<\/b>. Spotify then rolled out<\/a> a personalized \u2018Concerts Near You\u2019<\/b> playlist for users last month.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Spotify partnered<\/a> with UK-headquartered ticketing platform Skiddle<\/b> to integrate digital music consumption and live event attendance. The partnership allows Spotify users to discover concerts, club nights and festivals featuring their preferred artists directly through artist profiles.<\/p>\n Spotify has been expanding its concert-related offerings in recent years. In 2020, Spotify teamed up<\/a> with concert discovery app Songkick<\/b>, acquired<\/a> by Warner Music Group<\/a><\/b> in 2017, to introduce a virtual events listings feature on its platform.<\/p>\n In 2022, Spotify launched<\/a> a \u2018Live Events\u2019 <\/b>feed, replacing its previous \u2018Concert Hub\u2019<\/b> feature. Also in 2022, the company began testing direct concert ticket sales to fans through a dedicated \u2018Spotify Tickets\u2019 site.<\/p>\n However, Spotify encountered difficulties with its direct ticketing initiatives. The company scaled back<\/a> its own ticketing initiatives in 2024, shifting its strategy to integrations with third-party companies. Last year, Spotify added<\/a> Bandsintown<\/b> listings, complementing its existing Ticketmaster<\/a><\/b>, Eventbrite<\/a><\/b>, Songkick<\/b>, and AXS<\/a><\/b> listings on the platform.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Live Nation<\/a><\/b> President and CEO Michael Rapino<\/a><\/b> recently confirmed that the company is in ticketing talks with Spotify, Apple<\/a><\/b> and Amazon<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been working with all three of them [Spotify, Apple, and Amazon], trying to find a model that may work for us and them, and [we] assume they\u2019re talking to others also,\u201d Rapino said in February.<\/p>\n Bloomberg had previously reported<\/a> that Spotify\u2019s long-anticipated \u2018Super Pro\u2019<\/b> tier<\/a> could debut this year featuring early access to concert tickets among its offerings, alongside AI-powered remix capabilities and higher-fidelity audio.<\/p>\n Music Business Worldwide<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.musicbusinessworldwide.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spotify has integrated with Dutch event management platform Stager, allowing venues and festivals to display their events directly on artists\u2019 Spotify pages, doubling down on its concert discovery features.
