Bandsintown LIVE on Pollstar Top 50 Livestreaming Chart

The Bandsintown LIVE channel launched in April as part of Bandsintown’s effort to help artists survive and continue to grow their audience after hundreds of thousands of live shows were cancelled worldwide.

The channel quickly became a top live music destination attracting more than 23.6 million viewers. 

Last week, Bandsintown LIVE scored an unprecedented 4 slots in the Top 10 on respected touring industry trade Pollstar’s Live Stream Chart and three other days ranked in the Top 36. For the seven days ending June 22nd, Bandsintown LIVE programs ranked on the Pollstar Live Stream Chart based on views (View the full chart at the end of this article):

“As fans of great music,” said Bandsintown Managing Partner Fabrice Sergent, “We’re proud to have programmed over 300 acts and attracted 23.6 million viewers in the last two months for both emerging and established artists performing such an eclectic mix of music.” 

After a soft launch that attracted 1.2 million unique viewers and ranked # 2 on the Pollstar Live Stream chart, Bandsintown LIVE has launched a second channel, OUTSKIRTS, (outskirts.bandsintown.com) with three days of programming focused on Americana and Country music.
