Apple Music is a music, audio, and video streaming service from the development of Apple Inc. With this service, users can choose music to stream to their device – on-demand – or they can listen to existing playlists. Thus, this streaming service can support artists with tools to create, promote, launch, and measure music across a worldwide stage.
Right now, Apple Music provides access to over 100 million songs. It is loaded with features, including listening to music offline or when you are not connected. This streaming service combines all your music in one place, including songs ripped from a CD.
Yesterday, Apple announced it is launching new concert features on Apple Music and Apple Maps. With these new features, people can find the hottest live music events and concerts happening nearby.
“Apple Music offers the ultimate listening experience for music fans around the world, distinguished in part by its global team of expert curators and lifelong music obsessives who make a point to surface the songs and albums users have to hear,” Apple said in its official news release. “Today, Apple Music expanded its curation efforts into live shows, introducing new concert discovery features on Apple Maps and Apple Music.”
For Apple Music
On Apple Music, the company has included the brand-new “Set Lists” feature, highlighting a selection of major tours complete with playable set lists. With this, people can involve themselves more in the concerts since they can listen to the set lists played during the production.
Also, for the first time on the app, you can browse the upcoming shows of various artists in your area by launching the concert discovery module of Shazam.
Isn’t that wonderful? But wait, there’s more.
For Apple Maps
Apple is also tapping on its Apple Maps service to provide better experiences for users when it comes to catching events and shows.
On Apple Maps, there are now more than 40 new Guides, each expertly curated by Apple Music editors, to help you find the best venues to experience live music in various parts of the globe, whether these are in the symphony halls or Vienna, or the cutting-edge techno clubs in Tokyo and Brooklyn.
In North America, Apple said the featured cities are Detroit, Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City. In Europe, you’ve got London, Berlin, Vienna, and Paris. Meanwhile, in the Asia-Pacific region, featured cities are Melbourne, Tokyo, and Sydney. Mexico City is the featured city in Latin America.
Like on Apple Music, Shazam’s concert discovery module also plays a big role here. These Apple Music Guides also let fans browse venues’ upcoming shows directly from Apple Maps via this concert discovery module.
“Together, these new features celebrate the joy of live music, and give fans and artists more ways to connect,” Apple said.
