(Hypebot) — In 2023, Bandsintown made 3.7 billion concert recommendations for 1.5 million shows listed on Bandsintown.com to its 84 million registered live music fans.
Those mindboggling stats should leave every touring musician, venue, and concert promoter asking, “Did I get my fair share of all those tickets sold?”
It’s true that Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and a few other top artists sold out stadiums in 2023, but most of the 3.7 billion concert recommendations from Bandsintown were for mid-tier and longtail artists performing at theaters, events, and local clubs.
Fortunately for musicians, Bandsintown For Artists’ tools to build a live fanbase and communicate with them are free, including listings, a website widget, fan messaging, and even a free email service.
Venues, festivals, and promoters are provided with paid tools like Bandsintown Promoter to reach live music fans and Bandsintown PRO for Venues, an automated service that ensures fans are informed about every show they might want to go to in their home region.
2024
Bandsintown’s 2023 growth happened organically without a dime spent on advertising or paid marketing, leaving the global concert discovery platform poised for an equally impressive 2024.
