Bandsintown Opens Platform To Venues and Festivals

Bandsintown, the popular concert discovery platform, has opened up its platform to allow venues and festivals to claim their own official profiles and alert local music fans of new show announcements in real time. Venues will now be able to establish their brand presence, customize their profiles,and add and edit new events.

While over 15,000 promoters, venues and festivals have been using Bandsintown's promoter service for years to create campaigns in order to reach fans and boost concert attendance, this marks the first time venues will have their own access to Bandsintown Manager, allowing them to publish events independently.

This Venue functionality of Bandsintown Manager is a result of feedback received directly from venues and promoters.

"We're excited to have over 500 Venues already signed up to the Beta release, which will become public on December 15th,' says Jon Ostrow, VP, Sales and Business Development.

Bandsintown users have demonstrated a voracious appetite for discovering new concerts and venues. In a recent survey conducted among 35,000 Bandsintown users, 49% of users reported discovering a new venue as a result of a Bandsintown recommendation while 41% of Bandsintown users reported attending shows at local venues more than five times per year. Furthermore, 57% of users reported attending more concerts thanks to Bandsintown.
