Apple Introduces Concert Set List Playlists for Artists on Apple Music

Apple has launched a new tool aimed at enhancing engagement between artists and their fans on Apple Music. This innovative feature allows artists to convert their concert set lists into publishable playlists directly on the Apple Music platform.

The tool, accessible through Apple Music for Artists on the web, enables musicians to craft playlists that fans can relive. According to Apple, artists can share these Set List playlists across social media to not only promote upcoming tour dates but also create lasting connections with their listeners.

One of the most straightforward methods for artists to create their Set List is by updating their concert and tour dates through their Bandsintown account. These dates can subsequently link to the artist’s page on Shazam, Spotlight Search, and Apple Maps, facilitating the setup of the Set List in the Apple Music for Artists account.

Artists who leverage this feature will have the capability to share playlist links with fans and integrate these playlists directly into their artist page on Apple Music, Shazam, and additional platforms. This development indicates Apple Music’s strategy to distinguish itself from competing streaming services by enhancing artist empowerment.

Apple’s editorial team will continue to generate curated playlists. However, this new feature signifies a shift towards granting musicians more influence over their content and fan interactions.

Inquiries have been raised within the music community regarding the reception of this feature and whether fans are eager to see more concert set lists appear on Apple Music.

This update is part of a broader effort by Apple Music to keep its platform refreshing and relevant within the dynamic music streaming industry.
