Bandsintown doubles down on its curated live streams with daily programming

As Bandsintown LIVE hits 10 million viewers in a month, the channel expands from 2 days of live performances a week to 5 days a week.

On May 11, 2020, Bandsintown is launching daily livestreams on its dedicated channel, Bandsintown LIVE. On the same day every week, Bandsintown LIVE will host a genre-inspired, themed channel showcasing emerging and established artists.

Monday 2-6 PM ET
BANDSINTOWN OUTSKIRTS:


A mix of both established and new country, alt-country, Americana and singer-songwriters

Tuesday 2-6 PM ET
BANDSINTOWN DISCOVERY: 


New and rising artists in all genres

Wednesday 2-6 PM ET
BANDSINTOWN FUSION: 


An eclectic mix of music from around the world

Thursday 2-6 PM ET
BANDSINTOWN ALL THE VIBES:

Friday 2-6 PM ET

In addition to five days of genre-based programming, Bandsintown LIVE has weekends covered with BANDSINTOWN @ HOME bringing popular events right to your couch. Channel takeovers by Festivals, Charities, Venues and Cities including rebroadcasts and other experiments.

“We are fans first, and we know live streaming has something valuable to offer music lovers,” says Fabrice Sergent, Bandsintown’s Managing Partner. “There’s a striking intimacy to this format we think is here to stay. In a different way from live events, artists deeply connect with their fans. We are convinced that this will turn into new sources of income for such artists, helping them launch new music, sell merch or ticketed events.”

Bandsintown has established itself as the leading global discovery platform for live music and a hub for artists to directly engage with their fans at no cost.

With the worldwide pause on physical live events, however, the company leaped into live streaming and now offers the most comprehensive listing of live streaming events, accessible to fans sorted by music taste, genre, date, or platform of choice.

New Revenue Source For Musicians

Bandsintown LIVE also becomes the first major live music streaming channel to empower artists with a tip jar while performing on the channel. 100% of the money received will go directly to the artist or a charity of their choice.

"By delivering a substantial new audience and adding a tip jar, Bandsintown LIVE gives artists a way to earn money while also expanding their fanbase," said Sergent, "and fans a way to support their favorite artists."

Why You Need to Give Your Music 10 Years

This post originally appeared on Music Entrepreneur HQ.

In the world of entrepreneurs, the five year business plan is a well-known phenomenon. You don’t start a business today and expect it to rocket into the stratosphere tomorrow. It takes time to build an asset. Moreover, a great deal could be accomplished over the course of five years if one was really focused on what they were doing. If music is indeed a business, then how is it any different than starting, building, maintaining, and running a business?

You’ve heard of all of the overnight success stories that were 10 years in the making. Both Billy Talent and Metallica are great examples. It took them the better part of 10 years to really break it in the industry. Why is that number significant?

I believe it has to do with commitment level. It isn’t so much about working hard for 10 years as it is the willingness to commit to an idea for the next 10 years. Perhaps you’ve heard of how Metallica used to be crammed into a tiny apartment without any money or any food to eat. Regardless, they were sold out to Metal. They believed in the vision, despite the troubles they encountered along the way.

Zig Ziglar gives the example of the water pump. First, the pump must be primed with a jug of water. Then it has to be pumped vigorously for a long period of time. However, once the water starts flowing, you don’t have to exert as much effort to maintain water flow. It flows easy. However, if you stop pumping while you’re still in the “long period” phase, you have to start all over again.

Business is really no different. It takes time to build a network of connections. It takes time to write and record songs that you’re really proud of. It takes time to build an audience. However, once you get the proverbial pump flowing, things start to get easier.

Does it have to take 10 years? No. It might take two years. It might take five years. It might take 15 years. That depends on your ability to get focused and be single-minded about your purpose. It takes a willingness to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.

There are business ventures that, with the right amount of effort, can be built in two to five years. What’s the catch? It might take you longer if you don’t have focus and a strong work ethic. That is the bottom line with any venture you undertake.

Before you start any venture, ask yourself if you’re willing to make a five to 10 year commitment. If you can’t see yourself doing it for that amount of time, then ask yourself if it’s a project deserving of your time and effort.
