Moreover, more than 50% of fans say they’ve discovered a new artists and gone to a show because Bandsintown recommended it.

Combined these stats prove a growing demand for authentic live experiences in an increasingly digital world.
“While the world continues to become more digital and people often feel less connected, we can find optimism knowing 100 million fans have shown they are doubling down on experiences that can’t be pixelated, compressed or faked,” said Fabrice Sergent and Julien Mitelberg, Co-Founders & Co-Managing Partners, Bandsintown Group. “Our mission has always been to bring fans closer to the artists they love so, our algorithms don’t try to keep you scrolling in a silo — they’re designed with intention — to get you off your phone and out in the world into a venue, experiencing music with other humans. Live music is an antidote to digital overwhelm and aloneness.”
