    Spotify rolls out new feed to its mobile app to help users find live shows

    Spotify has just announced a new feature aimed at users who typically search for their favorite creators’ live events within the app. Previously known as Concert Hub, the feature has been renamed to Live Events Feed and received a handful of improvements.

    First off, you’ll be able to find the new feed by search Live Events in the Spotify app. This is the service’s new place where users can find live events in their local area, personalized for them. Spotify revealed that it’s been supported by various ticketing partners who helped make the new feature more useful.

    Ticketmaster, AXS, DICE, Eventbrite, and See Tickets are just some of Spotify’s ticketing partners that are sourcing the listings in the Live Events Feed. It’s an interesting feature if you’re interested in live events, but it’s more helpful for artists as live shows were terribly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    In addition to being able to find live events of their favorite artists, Live Events Feed also includes a new messaging tool to offer fans personalized recommendations for upcoming live events based on their listening habits. On top of that, users can choose to be notified about potential live events in their local area.

    Finally, Spotify says that it has also embedded show discovery into their app. So, if an artist that you’re listening to has an upcoming tour date, Spotify will show that live event to you in the app, while you’re listening.

    Eventbrite with Louis Vuitton Launching in Hong Kong

    Global ticketing and event technology platform Eventbrite has launched in Hong Kong, with retailer Louis Vuitton one of its first customers. Eventbrite forged a partnership with the French luxury-goods label under which the ticketing company managed entry to Louis Vuitton’s recent Objets Nomades showcase at Tai Kwun.

    The launch of a localized platform in Hong Kong is the latest move in Eventbrite’s Asian expansion, following the company’s debut in Singapore in February. Eventbrite has processed more than 2.2 million tickets for 34,000 events in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong it has more than 6500 event creators using the platform.

    Located at Eventbrite.hk, the new localized access point will be one of the first in Asia to use Eventbrite’s ‘Publish To Facebook’ feature – an integration allowing event-goers to purchase tickets directly through Facebook – alongside payment processing in Hong Kong Dollars, curated local content and seamless native checkout.

    The company says it has seen strong organic growth in health and wellness, food and wine, and music events in Hong Kong, with events such as The Conscious Festival and Hellodog Fest.

    Phil Silverstone, GM, Asia Pacific, said that as a global city, Hong Kong punches well above its weight.

    “From its vibrant foodie culture to its booming local arts and emerging music scenes, live experiences are a cornerstone of this dynamic, fast-paced city – and we’re excited to launch a platform that will power even more events for locals to enjoy,” he said.
