Bandsintown is expanding the free exposure it offers artists and their tour dates to the 225 million monthly active users and 1 billion monthly song searches on Apple-owned Shazam.

“As live music returns, we’re on a mission to help artists get more visibility for their shows,” said **Fabrice Sergent, managing partner of Bandsintown**. “Pent up demand from fans eager to go back to concerts is being met by an unprecedented level of live shows from artists on tour.”

When Shazaming a song or searching for it in the Shazam iOS and Android apps or website, fans will also see nearby concerts delivered by Bandsintown. They can launch a Shazam Artist page to explore dates, times and locations of upcoming shows worldwide, view additional tour information, share show details, buy tickets and add events to their calendar.
