Apple is expanding the Music and Maps app: These now display concert dates, ticket purchases, guides and set lists.

Apple recently introduced some new features. The Music app now has a function that displays concerts and live shows and their dates. The whole thing can also be seen in the map for available cities - thanks to the Apple ecosystem. You'll find new guides, which according to Apple have been compiled by their Music team and show the venues in your area.

In the Music app, the setlists of selected artists are now also available under "Discover". So far, however, these are still few and far between; the app only shows the tours of Sam Smith, Blackpink, Peso Pluma, Kane Brown, Blink-182, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. You can also see all tour dates in the app, add them to your calendar and buy tickets there too.

You can find the guides in the map or here. They are intended to show the best places for live music in cultural centres, according to Apple. The company writes:

From the famous symphony halls of Vienna to cutting-edge techno clubs in Brooklyn and Tokyo, this hand-picked selection, currently spanning over ten cities, is everything music fans need for an unforgettable night out.

At the moment, the function is already available in Europe in Berlin, London, Paris and Vienna. More cities will follow, according to Apple. The company has not communicated when Swiss cities will be included. Spotify, Apple's main competitor in the streaming sector, already introduced the concert discovery function a year ago.

Testing devices and gadgets is my thing. Some experiments lead to interesting insights, others to demolished phones. I’m hooked on series and can’t imagine life without Netflix. In summer, you’ll find me soaking up the sun by the lake or at a music festival.
