Bandsintown Named to Fast Company’s Annual List of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2021
Bandsintown has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2021!
The list honors the businesses that have not only found a way to be resilient in the past year, but also turned those challenges into impact-making processes. These companies did more than survive, they thrived—making an impact on their industries and culture as a whole. This year’s MIC list features 463 businesses from 29 countries.
Bandsintown was chosen because it expanded its mission to quickly become the global hub of music live streaming including the launch of Bandsintown PLUS, a first-ever live music streaming subscription service.
For $9.99 a month, fans get an “All Access Pass” to exclusively produced live shows each month, alongside intimate interviews with each artist. Recent and upcoming Bandsintown PLUS performances include Charli XCX, Fleet Foxes, HAIM, Jeff Tweedy, Nathaniel Rateliff, Phoebe Bridgers, and many more.
“It is an honor, and yet somehow a paradox, for the Bandsintown team to be listed as innovators in a year when traditional concerts were put on hold. With the launch of Bandsintown PLUS, a first-of-its-kind live music subscription service, Bandsintown wants to inspire artists and help them pivot toward live streaming to stay in touch with their fans and explore new creative and revenue opportunities.”
Fast Company’s editors and writers sought out the most groundbreaking businesses across the globe and industries. They also judged nominations received through their application process.
The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides both a snapshot and a road map for the future of innovation across the most dynamic sectors of the economy.
“In a year of unprecedented challenges, the companies on this list exhibit fearlessness, ingenuity, and creativity in the face of crisis.”
To coincide with the issue launch, Fast Company will host its first-ever Most Innovative Companies Summit on March 9 and 10. This virtual, multiday summit will celebrate the Most Innovative Companies in business, provide an early look at major business trends, and offer the inspiration and practical insights on what it takes to innovate in 2021.
Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies issue (March/April 2021) is now available online here, as well as in app form via iTunes and on newsstands beginning March 16, 2021. The hashtag is #FCMostInnovative.
