The tools allow artists to upload tour dates directly and promote to Bandsintown's registered users as well as fans visiting Billboard, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon Alexa and more.
They are expanding their free direct-to-fan messaging tool which allows artists to message their trackers directly through email and push notifications.
"Bandsintown is aggressively expanding its free offering to artists," said Fabrice Sergent, Managing Partner. "We continue to contribute value to artists and help them better engage with their super fans, grow their careers and stand out in an ever-crowded world."
