Amazon said it is partnering with Bandsintown, a live event listing platform, to bring concert listings to its music streaming service. Through a Bandsintown integration, Amazon Music users will be able to find live shows on the artists’ profile pages on the platform. They can also click on the “buy ticket” buttons to purchase tickets on Bandsintown.
Artists will need to ink their Amazon Music profile for the first time on Bandsintown for event sync to begin.
In addition to this, Amazon Music will automatically list events from venues, festivals, and promoters using Bandsintown Pro on its platform.

This integration pushes Amazon closer in competition with Spotify, which has been pushing hard into live event discovery and ticket sales amid tightening streaming margins.
“Live music is one of the most powerful ways fans connect with the artists they love—something we’ve seen firsthand through the livestream performances we’ve brought to fans worldwide,” said Karolina Joynathsing, director of Business Development, Amazon Music, in a statement.
“That’s why we’re thrilled to team up with Bandsintown, so fans can now discover upcoming shows from the artists they love on Amazon Music, alongside streaming their music, catching exclusive livestreams, shopping merch, and more, all in one place,” she said.
The feature is rolling out right now, and will be fully available on Amazon Music this spring on both iOS and Android apps, according to the company. Bandsintown said that it has more than 700,000 artists on the platform, along with over 65,000 venues and festivals using its Bandsintown Pro marketing and promotion product. It added that more than 100 million users are registered on the platform, but didn’t specify the number of active users.

According to The Tech Buzz, this comes at a time when streaming services are increasingly branching out to live events. Pure streaming services are struggling with profitability as music licensing costs eat into margins, and live events represent one of the few areas where the music industry is still seeing growth. According to analysts, global concert revenue hit $31 billion in 2024, rebounding past pre-pandemic levels, according to industry analysts. Streaming platforms are now eager to grab a share of those profits.
For use, the integration would be seamless. The Bandsintown integration appears as a new module on artist pages, showing upcoming dates organized by location. Users can track tours, set reminders, and presumably click through to purchase tickets, though the exact ticket-buying flow hasn’t been detailed yet. The rollout spans both free and subscription tiers for users across the world.
