More than 40 new guides are added to Maps, highlighting the best places with live music. This is music of all genres, so that both concert halls and clubs are included in the overview. You can go to Apple’s Maps for every musical occasion.
New function now only in a limited number of cities
Apple has only released the new feature to a limited extent. According to the company, this is because the local recommendations are selected manually. The new option is therefore currently only available in a few cities. These are the following places:
- Chicago
- Detroit
- Los Angeles
- Nashville
- New York City
- San Francisco
- Berlin
- London
- Paris
- Vienna
- Tokyo
- Melbourne
- Sydney
- Mexico City
So if you visit one of these cities, you can consult Apple Maps for the best places with live music. The app then gives you an overview with recommendations and which shows are planned. Thanks to Apple Tickets, you’ll never miss a great concert at your holiday destination again.
New list added to Apple Music
Apple Music is now also focusing more on concerts. A new list has been added to the app, in which major tours and concerts can be found. There you can also read background information about the show, including the set list of the concert. In the list you can see which concerts will soon be in your area. This makes it easier for fans to see which artists are performing nearby.

The new function is not yet available in a Dutch city. It is expected that you will soon also be able to search for local concerts in the Netherlands via Maps and Apple Music. Unfortunately, this will take a while, because according to Apple, the concerts and locations are chosen manually. It is therefore not yet known when the service will come to the Netherlands.
