Apple Music have released their upload deadlines for this year's upcoming holiday season. ⏳ Please keep dates between 29th November 2024 and 3rd January 2025 in mind when planning any releases to Apple Music or iTunes.

Apple Music has introduced a new feature allowing artists to turn their concert set lists into playlists for better tour promotion. Through Apple Music for Artists, musicians can create Set Lists, which include live tracks, covers, and collaborations. These playlists are linked with Bandsintown for tour visibility and can be shared across social media, offering a unique way to engage fans before and after shows. This tool aims to strengthen fan-artist connections and streamline live performance promotion.

Live music in the UK is facing significant challenges, with artists playing fewer gigs than in previous decades. In 1994, bands averaged 22 shows per tour, but now that number has halved. Rising costs for fans, venues, and artists are driving this trend, with some towns being bypassed entirely, forcing fans to travel long distances. The Music Venue Trust reports a steep drop in ticket sales, and industry leaders are calling for government action, such as cutting VAT on tickets, to help preserve grassroots venues and ensure cultural access across the country.

ABBA’s virtual concert series, ABBA Voyage, generated $129 million in revenue in 2023, drawing 1.1 million visitors. The groundbreaking virtual show, which features digital avatars of the legendary band, highlights the growing demand for immersive music experiences. Are virtual concerts the future of live entertainment?

Oasis has announced they will not use Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing for their upcoming North American tour. This decision means fans can expect more consistent and fair ticket prices, avoiding the fluctuations that often occur with demand-based pricing models.

LAST CALL for 50% off #dittox 2024 tickets as early bird comes to ends this Tuesday 9am. Come and meet, learn, network and get feedback from key players across the music industry at our 4th annual UK conference at the @indigoattheo2 & The Blue Room in the @theo2london Nov 21st!

TikTok has announced it will shut down its music subscription service, TikTok Music, in November. Currently available in five countries, including Indonesia and Brazil, the closure aligns with TikTok's strategy to enhance its "Add to Music App" feature, which integrates with platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This shift aims to drive more music consumption on external platforms, rather than competing with them.

TikTok revealed that over 27% of Germany's Top 100 singles in 2023 were popular on the platform before hitting the charts. According to the "TikTok as a Discovery Engine Study 2023," many songs appeared on TikTok's Hot 50 chart around 12 days prior to entering the German singles chart. TikTok credits its role in democratising music discovery and empowering new artists.

Meta and Spotify are reportedly working on a new integration that allows users to share their Spotify listening activity directly on Instagram Notes. This collaboration builds on previous features like sharing 30-second song clips and aims to enhance music discovery and user engagement.
