Apple’s new Shazam update brings local live show recommendations

Want to go have fun with friends and listen to live music? Apple offers you a new feature for Shazam, called Concerts, reports 9to5Mac. As you might guess from the name of the feature, it will recommend nearby performances that you might want to attend.

Shazam will have concert recommendations with new update

With this new feature, Apple’s Shazam joins Bandsintown and Songkick, which are platforms that recommend tour dates based on your location and music preferences.

With this update, you’ll be able to record and replay events, set reminders for upcoming shows you’re interested in, view tickets, and even unlock concert exclusives from selected artists. Among the exclusives, you can get new watch faces and wallpapers, behind-the-scenes videos, tour photos, show set lists and more, of course depending on the artist.

The feature launches today for users on iOS, and an Android update for Shazam will follow soon. At the same time, the company offers other initiatives to help you go to concerts and have fun. For example, concert data now appears in Spotlight search on iOS 17. Earlier this year, Apple Music began offering special playlists to promote touring artists.
