How “Concerts Near You”
works.
The playlist features 30 tracks from artists performing in your city and provides full event details, including links to purchase tickets. Spotify partners with leading ticketing platforms such as AXS, DICE, Eventbrite and Ticketmaster to make it easy to make a purchase.
Like Spotify’s other personalized playlists – such as “Daylist” and various “Mixes” – the new playlist is shaped based on a user’s music preferences, helping them discover concerts by artists they already listen to.
To get up-to-the-minute updates on upcoming shows, Spotify recommends enabling geolocation access via the “Live Events” section (available under the “Search” tab in the app). It also recommends activating push notifications and subscribing to your favorite artists to receive personalized event reminders.

The playlist announcement comes just after the publication of the annual Loud & Clear report, in which Spotify reveals artist payouts. According to the report, in 2024, an artist who received one listen per million on the platform earned more than $10,000 on average – a first in the service’s history.
