Tidal Users Should Be Jealous of This New Spotify Feature

Spotify has introduced a new feature, the Concerts Near You playlist, which is quickly becoming a standout for music fans.

Updated every Wednesday, the playlist features around 30 songs from artists based on users’ listening habits who will be performing nearby. It’s a convenient way for gig-goers to discover local concerts without the hassle of manual searches.

Unlike Spotify’s previous method of simply listing events, this playlist combines music discovery with live event promotion. Users can hear songs from artists they may not know are performing in their area, and if they like what they hear, they can easily buy tickets.

For example, some users have discovered bands like Boom Crash Opera and artists like Sigur Rós through the playlist, sparking spontaneous ticket purchases.

With Spotify reportedly exploring new tiers like Spotify HiFi, which could offer exclusive concert perks, the platform might soon be a true leader in live music streaming, putting it ahead of rivals like Tidal in this area.

The Concerts Near You feature is a major advantage for Spotify users and could shape the future of live music experiences on streaming platforms.
