Spotify has announced a new partnership with NugsNet, the live music streaming platform used by Pearl Jam, Dead & Company and many more. Spotify subscribers will now be able to stream the platform's full archive of more than 900 concerts:
Big news, thanks for sharing. I'm a Spotify subscriber and on many occasions have considered adding a subscription to Nugs. Excited they'll both be in one place
Guessing cheaper to get a Spotify account and ditch the Nugs app as all the same live bootleg shows will be included with Spotify.
I read that release as saying just the special event stuff will be integrated into Spotify...
Its confusing. It talks about viewership, so maybe it means just the streamed video shows will be linked. Odd that Spotify hasn't send out a subscriber email to let its subscribers know. But they didn't tell us about the free Hulu either so maybe they just do things that way.
Last September, as livestream concerts became the norm for most artists, Spotify launched a new “On Tour”
hub for artists’ profiles. This new function displayed upcoming
concerts from artists, most of whom were playing in a digital format.
Fast forward seven months and many acts are still sticking to
livestreams. In an effort to further bolster the platform’s seamless
connectivity with livestream platforms, on Thursday Spotify announced
virtual events partnerships with nugs.net, StageIt, Mandolin, and NoCap.
The “On Tour” hub was originally launched featuring partnerships with Songkick and Ticketmaster,
though as the pandemic and resulting live event draught droned on,
nugs, StageIt, Mandolin, and NoCap emerged as major players in the
livestreaming industry. In the past year alone, nugs has streamed over
900 concerts from headlining artists like Metallica, Pearl Jam, Dead & Company, and many more, as well as regional acts from all across the country.
While Spotify will receive the four streaming platforms’ expansive
databases of upcoming livestreams, those services in return will see
enhanced promotion from Spotify. Just like the popular “Discover Weekly”
recommendation model, users will receive personally catered livestream
recommendations based on their location, the music they like, and the
artists they follow. Spotify users can also sign up to receive push
notifications that will alert them 24–48 hours before a livestream is
set to begin.
A press release from Spotify notes that “Because there is no way to
list events directly through Spotify for Artists, artist teams should
work with our ticketing partners to get their events listed.” As with
the original “On Tour” rollout, there is no way for artists to manually
enter their livestream information through the Spotify for Artists
account page. Instead, all livestream information will be taken directly
from the streaming platform—which now includes Songkick, Ticketmaster,
nugs, StageIt, Mandolin, and NoCap—and uploaded directly to Spotify.
Head over to Spotify to check out the latest updates to the “On Tour” hub, newly powered by nugs, StageIt, Mandolin, NoCap, and more.
A bunch of 2013, 2008, 2003, and 2000 shows are on Spotify now. Whole tours I believe
Wow this is awesome! A little bummed as I read that the whole 2006 tour is also on Apple Music exclusively. I really hope they put that one up on Spotify sometime. If I remember right, the bootlegs of that tour didn’t have physical cd’s right? I never really heard a lot of them and would be great if they came to Spotify too.
No time to be void or save up on life, you gotta spend it all.
