Spotify now lists virtual concerts by your favorite artists<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

While attending live concerts is, for now, a thing of the past (or at least, it should be<\/a>), virtual concerts are flourishing, and now there\u2019s an easier way to find out when your gotta-see performers are going online.<\/p>\n

Spotify just announced that it will now list both virtual as well as live concerts on its \u201cConcerts\u201d hub, which details online events by your followed artists plus \u201crecommended\u201d shows based on your listening history.<\/p>\n

You can find the Concerts hub under Browse on the desktop Spotify app or by tapping Search on Spotify\u2019s iOS or Android app. You can also check the \u201cOn Tour\u201d section of the Spotify profile page for an artist.<\/p>\n

The Concerts hub still lists plenty of scheduled in-person concerts, although most of them are slated (for now, at least) for later this year or (more likely) for 2021.<\/p>\n

That said, some virtual events are already starting to pop up. For example, I see that South Korean boy band BTS is set to perform live at 1 a.m. ET (that\u2019s a little past my bedtime) this Saturday with Coldplay, Kane Brown, Khalid, and more.<\/p>\n

The detail page for a virtual event on Spotify\u2019s Concerts hub lists when the concert will take place and who will be performing, while a \u201cFind Virtual Event\u201d button takes you to a site where you can purchase tickets.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The concert page also lists other \u201crecommended\u201d concerts, while a Find Virtual Event button will direct you to the third-party concert detail page, where you\u2019ll be able to buy tickets.<\/p>\n

Virtual concerts listed on the Concerts hub can be hosted by any platform, according to Spotify, including Twitch, Instagram Live, YouTube Live, or a self-hosted site.<\/p>\n

The only requirement for artists is that they must get their virtual events listed through Songkick, a \u201cdiscovery\u201d app for online performances. Spotify also says that a \u201cselect number\u201d of Ticketmaster events will be automatically listed in the Concerts hub.<\/p>\n
