Amazon announced on April 23, 2026 that Amazon Music has entered a global partnership with Bandsintown, one of the world's leading live-music discovery platforms, and has begun rolling out a new feature that surfaces concert information for artists[1][2]. Live and tour dates now appear automatically on an artist's Amazon Music profile page, and ticket purchases continue seamlessly over on Bandsintown[1][2]. The rollout is already under way and is expected to reach every subscription tier on both iOS and Android, across every supported region, by the end of spring 2026[2][3].

Buy tickets straight from the artist page

The new feature lines up concert information directly on each artist profile inside Amazon Music[1]. Fans can check whether their favorite artist is heading to Japan or playing nearby without leaving the screen where they are streaming music[1]. Tapping a listed show hops over to the corresponding ticket page on Bandsintown, so the loop from streaming to live discovery to ticket purchase happens without app-switching[1][2].

The feature targets the iOS and Android versions of the Amazon Music app and is available across every subscription plan, including the free tier[2][3]. Japan is already among the supported countries, and concert listings have started appearing on artist pages in the Japanese app[1][2].

More than 100 million users on Bandsintown's side

Bandsintown is a platform built around live-music discovery, with offerings such as Bandsintown for Artists and Bandsintown Pro for artists and event organizers[2][3]. TechCrunch reports that the service today lists more than 700,000 artists and over 65,000 venues and festivals using Bandsintown Pro[3]. Registered users are said to exceed 100 million, giving Amazon Music a fresh entry point into live-event traffic[3].

The setup for artists is simple: link an Amazon Music profile from inside Bandsintown for Artists, and event additions and updates on Bandsintown automatically flow into Amazon Music's tour information[2]. Venues, festivals, and concert promoters using Bandsintown Pro can likewise deliver their events to Amazon Music listeners through the same connection[2].

A late entry into the Apple Music race

Amazon Music is arriving late to live-event integration[3]. Apple Music unveiled its own concert-discovery feature, powered by Ticketmaster and Bandsintown, back in March 2026, and Spotify has been expanding live-event surfaces in its app for years[3]. Amazon Music and Bandsintown already partnered in 2023 on artist merchandise sales, so the latest deal extends that relationship into the "live discovery" lane[3].

With concert listings now sitting alongside livestreams and exclusive content inside the same app, Amazon Music's pitch as a single hub where music-centric experiences gather becomes a little more concrete[1].

Summary

Through the Bandsintown partnership, Amazon Music has set up a path from the artist page directly to concert details and ticket purchasing. Listings are already live in Japan, and full availability on iOS and Android is expected during spring 2026. It marks Amazon Music's serious push into the live-discovery race against Apple Music and Spotify.
