LOS ANGELES – Beatmatch, Inc., today announced the launch of Beatmatch Plans, a new way for music lovers to find people to go to shows with in just a few minutes. Beatmatch Plans allow you to create or join groups going to upcoming concerts, parties, music festivals or any live music event. Previously, you had to awkwardly post on social media and desperately hope that one of your friends was interested in the same show. With Beatmatch, you can browse existing plans or create your own to make new friends and find people to go with.
Music lovers have an insatiable thirst to attend live music events; Live Nation brought in $13.5 billion from concert revenue in 2022 alone. However, quenching your thirst for live music can be extremely overwhelming due to lackluster event discovery apps and your limited social circle. Concerts, parties, and music festivals are constantly happening and if you live in a big city like Los Angeles or NYC, it’s almost impossible to keep track of everything going on. Furthermore, once you discover events you’re interested in, you must now hound your friends to go with you, coordinate availability, and buy tickets. Or even worse, your friends already made plans to go but you don’t find out until it’s too late.
Beatmatch solves these problems by combining the event discovery and social experiences so that you know what events are happening and who you can instantly plan to go with. A Beatmatch Plan is the simplest way to organize a group of locals to attend a live music event. After creating an account, you’re greeted with a social feed of plans hosted by other community members based on your listening activity from Spotify and Apple Music. If you don’t see anything you like, you can host your own plan. To host your own plan, you simply search for the event you want to go to, add a few plan details, and share publicly with the community or privately with friends. Beatmatch’s algorithm will then show your plan to people you would vibe with the most. Community members can then ask to join your plan however you have full control over who’s allowed into your group. From there, you can share music, bond over memories, and organize when and where to meet using the group chat feature.
“Our goal is to get people out and doing more together,” said Chudi Iregbulem, creator of Beatmatch. “Music is a fantastic tool to meet like-minded people and live music events are a no pressure way to strengthen new friendships IRL. We want music lovers to give back to the artists and performers, who give us so many memories, by supporting shows in-person.”
To try Beatmatch Plans, download the Beatmatch app for iOS or Android. Create a profile, connect your Spotify or Apple Music account, and start joining and creating local plans. Invite your friends so you’re always in the loop about what’s going on.
“I would highly recommend Beatmatch to anyone who loves music and is looking to connect with like-minded people,” said an App Store reviewer “It’s a great way to expand your social circle and discover new music at the same time.”
