Bandsintown introduced a new marketplace that links its 700,000 artists with third-party services for music distribution, fan data management, and merchandise sales, among others.
The move comes as the New York-based company has reached 100 million registered users and seeks to help musicians navigate what it describes as “unpredictable algorithms” and help them avoid “overreliance on paid advertising.”
The Bandsintown for Artists Marketplace brings together over 30 partners.
Artists can now use Bandsintown as a hub to sync tour dates across Apple Maps, Apple Music, Bing, Google, Shazam, Spotify, and YouTube, while connecting fan databases to marketing tools like Community, Kit, Openstage, and Rivet and displaying merch through Amazon Music and Shopify integrations.
Bandsintown also offers integrations with website builders like Bandzoogle Squarespace, Wix and WordPress, along with link-in-bio tools like Feature.fm and Linktree.
Bandsintown for Artists Marketplace will also let artists discover tools to distribute their music via partners like CD Baby, Cobrand, DistroKid, Groover, Musixmatch, ROSTR, SymphonyOS, Too Lost, TuneCore, un:hurd, and UnitedMasters.
Fabrice Sergent, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Bandsintown Group, said: “We are on a mission to help artists connect with fans and build careers on their own terms.
“The Marketplace takes that mission further by ensuring artists don’t just reach billions of fans—they own those relationships and can activate them across every tool in their workflow. We’re proving that platforms can prioritize both massive scale and artist empowerment. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.”

The marketplace launch follows Bandsintown’s recent partnership with YouTube. Bandsintown became the exclusive provider of concert listings on YouTube and YouTube Music following a partnership struck in August.
Last week, Bandsintown reported reaching 100 million registered fan users across 196 countries despite what the company describes as persistent challenges with event awareness.
The company said it runs a catalog of 2.3 million events and employs AI to generate 450 million personalized recommendations each month, directing users to shows based on their listening history and location data.
Bandsintown for Artists Marketplace expands the company’s offerings. It already operates multiple channels including the Bandsintown Concerts app and website that provide a catalog of live music events globally, the Bandsintown for Artists platform that helps musicians post events, tours, manage presales and promote concerts, and Bandsintown Pro, which serves venues and promoters with automated marketing distribution.
