Why Listing Live Events on Spotify is Crucial for Touring & Artists Headlining Their Own City

In today’s music industry, artists must explore every possible avenue to connect with their audience and promote their live shows. One powerful yet often underutilized tool is Spotify’s live event listing feature. Especially for artists who stream over 50k+ listeners, headlining in their own city, or touring, utilizing this feature can make a significant difference. All our favorite artists have their listings on point, so why are many up-coming artists lacking this aspect of event promo? If you are an artist, promoter, or manager this piece will be a gem! Here’s why listing your events on Spotify is essential in our opinion. Direct Access to Local Fans Spotify’s algorithm is designed to suggest live events to users based on their listening habits and location. When you list a live show in your hometown, it has the potential to reach the most dedicated segment of your fan base—local listeners. These fans are not only more likely to attend the event but also spread the word to others...
