Looking for an efficient way to promote your upcoming concerts across platforms? Bandsintown, a leading concert aggregation and discovery platform for musicians, can help.
How Bandsintown Works
Bandsintown pulls your concert data from official ticketing services (like Ticketmaster and Eventbrite) as well as music promoter and independent venue websites and aggregates them on a single page for fans to monitor. If you’re out playing shows, there’s a good chance Bandsintown has already created a page for you. (You can search for your profile here.)
Once you’ve found your artist page, claiming your Bandsintown For Artists profile lets you actively manage your page, promote your concerts across major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, and manage fan communications from a single hub. In this article, we’ll show you how to get started.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
|
Claiming your Bandsintown profile
You can search for your artist name on Bandsintown and claim it to take full control of your concert listings, customize your profile, and promote your concerts with the platform’s tools.
Here are three reasons why you should claim your profile:
1. It’s free — no hidden fees
You can access Bandsintown’s core features completely for free. That means you can claim and customize your profile, post tour dates, manage your guest lists, message fans, and link your music at no extra cost.
2. Bandsintown reaches millions of fans per month
For independent artists looking to promote their shows to new and current fans, Bandsintown is an industry-leading choice — trusted by more than 75 million fans and 570,000 artists worldwide. Between one and two million Bandsintown users attend a concert every month.
Bandsintown also offers excellent tools for fan communication. The platform sends around 100 million alerts per month to opted-in fans, and it’s not spam: 50% of fans say they’ve attended a show specifically because Bandsintown recommended an artist they’d never heard of. The platform also intelligently recommends your profile to new fans based on their interests — approximately 60% of the alerts Bandsintown sends on a monthly basis are for artists a fan doesn’t already follow.
3. Bandsintown is a one-stop shop for fan management and event promotion
Once you claim your Bandsintown profile, you’ll have access to a suite of tools such as a Smart Link to promote your shows across platforms, a Bandsintown Widget you can add to your website, and an email builder to collect, create, and send emails to your followers.
