As of July 2019, Bandsintown and Billboard announced that our extensive trove of live music data (which covers more than 500,000 touring artists) would be featured across Billboard’s portfolio of music sites.

But what does that mean for artists, exactly? 

When a fan lands on a Billboard artist’s page, they will see their Bandsintown tour dates embedded, as well as the direct links to purchase tickets - much like the Tour Dates Widget. In addition, the Bandsintown Amplified music player will also be featured on pages to help fans discover music.

By driving music discovery and fan engagement on both platforms, this aim to help artists sell more tickets to their shows.

Bandsintown has also partnered with Billboard to create the Billboard + Bandsintown Tour Index. This consists of four weekly predictive charts based on the top touring artists trending in cities and around the globe, utilizing a unique methodology incorporating tracker and fan engagement data on Bandsintown.
