30 October 2025 - Press release

Bandsintown now connects its 700,000 independent artists with music distribution, CRM tools, and marketing partners like CD Baby, Community, Groover, Musixmatch, ROSTR, TuneCore — expanding on existing integrations like Google, Linktree, Shazam, Shopify, Spotify, Squarespace, and YouTube

 

Trusted by 100 million fans and 700,000 artists worldwide, Bandsintown announced today the launch of the Bandsintown for Artists Marketplace, a centralized hub of services helping independent artists reach billions of fans with their tour dates, own their fan data, and drive revenue globally. 

As AI continues to reshape how fans discover music, independent artists face new challenges reaching audiences, navigating unpredictable algorithms, and avoiding overreliance on paid advertising. The Bandsintown for Artists Marketplace addresses these challenges with a curated selection of tech solutions that integrate seamlessly with Bandsintown for Artists, a service that empowers musicians to publish events, announce tours, manage presales and onsales, and promote concerts across their digital properties.

 

The Bandsintown for Artists Marketplace makes it easy for independent artists to:

• Publish tour dates on Bandsintown to surface them across major search and streaming platforms, including Apple Maps, Apple Music, Bing, Google, Shazam, Spotify, and YouTube. Tour dates also sync to link-in-bio tools like Feature.fm and Linktree and website platforms like Bandzoogle, Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress.

• Collect fan opt-ins using Bandsintown tools and sync their data across Marketing/CRM platforms of their choice, including tools like Cobrand, Community, Kit, Openstage, and Rivet

• Display merch on their Bandsintown page to boost sales with Amazon Music Merch and Shopify integrations

• Discover curated tools to distribute their music, get playlisted, and more, including CD Baby, DistroKid, Groover, Musixmatch, ROSTR, SymphonyOS, Too Lost, TuneCore, un:hurd music, and UnitedMasters
  
  

"We are on a mission to help artists connect with fans and build careers on their own terms," said Fabrice Sergent, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Bandsintown Group. "The Marketplace takes that mission further by ensuring artists don't just reach billions of fans—they own those relationships and can activate them across every tool in their workflow. We're proving that platforms can prioritize both massive scale and artist empowerment. It doesn't have to be one or the other."

For participating partners, the Marketplace opens the door to Bandsintown's 700,000+ global artist community. By integrating and aligning their platforms, partners can offer more value to Bandsintown artists while growing their own user base.

The full list of platforms included in the Bandsintown for Artists Marketplace is: Amazon Music, Apple Maps, Apple Music, Artist Growth, Bandzoogle, Bing, CD Baby, Cobrand, Community, DistroKid, Feature.fm, Google, Groover, Kit, Linktree, Musixmatch, Openstage, Rivet, ROSTR, Shazam, Shopify, Spotify, Squarespace, SymphonyOS, TooLost, TuneCore, un:hurd music, UnitedMasters, Wix, WordPress, YouTube.

The launch further cements Bandsintown's position as the world's leading live music discovery platform, connecting 100 million registered fan users to a catalog of 2.3 million events through 450 million personalized concert recommendations each month.
