Apple has introduced a new feature in the iOS version of the Shazam app, offering music enthusiasts the chance to explore upcoming concerts in their area. This new "Concerts" section aims to connect music fans with live events, and it's set to make its way to Android devices soon. The Concerts feature is already available in Spotlight Search with iOS 17.
Personalised Event Recommendations
The Concerts section, located within the "My Music" area, takes into account a user's Shazam history to provide personalised event recommendations. This means that the concerts suggested to you are tailored to your musical interests.
Browsing, Searching, and Filtering Concerts
With the Concerts feature, music fans now have an array of options for exploring upcoming concerts. They can easily browse, search, and filter concerts by artist, date, and location, making it simple to find the perfect event. Users can also keep an eye on trending concerts, all conveniently consolidated in one place.
