Apple Music is giving music lovers a new way to experience their favorite concerts – even from the comfort of their own homes. Artists can now curate and share official set list playlists directly on their Apple Music profiles.
This innovative feature allows fans to relive the magic of a live performance by listening to the exact songs played in the order they were performed. It’s a fantastic way to keep the concert energy going long after the encore.
But the benefits extend beyond post-concert reminiscing. Fans can also use these playlists to preview upcoming shows, getting a sneak peek at the set list and familiarizing themselves with the songs they’ll be hearing live.
For artists, this tool offers a unique promotional opportunity. By sharing their set lists on social media and linking them to tour dates, they can generate excitement and drive ticket sales. Plus, it’s a great way to engage with fans and offer a more immersive concert experience.
Creating a set list playlist is simple, especially for artists who keep their Bandsintown accounts updated. Upcoming shows are automatically linked to their artist pages on Apple Music, Shazam, Spotlight Search, and Apple Maps. From their Apple Music for Artists profile, they can easily create a new set list, add an event, and select the songs performed. The playlists can even include cover songs and collaborations.
When a tour ends, artists can simply hide the set list playlist, keeping it as a draft for potential future use. This flexibility allows artists to manage their content and keep their Apple Music profile fresh and relevant.
This new feature adds another dimension to Apple Music’s already extensive playlist offerings, which include albums, curated playlists by Apple’s editorial team, and now, authentic concert set lists. It’s a win-win for both artists and fans, enhancing the connection between them and providing a more immersive musical experience.
