Live Nation launches new concert app

Live Nation launches the Live Nation Android App for mobile devices, the counterpart to the Live Nation iPhone App which is consistently in the Top 20 in the iTunes music apps category. The Android app provides immediate, on-the-go access to Live Nation concerts, Ticketmaster ticketed concerts and additional independent local shows throughout North America.



Live Nation is celebrating the launch of the Android App, and the success of the iPhone App, with the “Live Nation Black App Sweepstakes.” Everyone who downloads or upgrades the Live Nation Android or iPhone App, prior to September 30 at 12noon PT, can enter for the chance to win a year's worth of 2013 tickets to any participating Live Nation concert in the "Live Nation Black App Sweepstakes".



In addition to browsing, searching and discovering concerts, the app will offer ticket on sale information, presale access with no code necessary, exclusive mobile tickets offers, show reminders, set lists, venue information, seat maps, authentic ticket purchases, and exclusive content. Listings can be geo-targeted by location, enabling relevant access to local shows or shows anywhere in North America, with the ability to download events directly to your calendar.



“Through innovations in mobile technology we are changing the way live music fans access concerts, providing more on the go access than ever before,” said Michael Rapino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Nation Entertainment. “We have seen more than 3 million downloads of the Live Nation iPhone App in just over a year. We are now able to offer Android platform users with the same great access to concerts from Live Nation, Ticketmaster and a many independent venues – wherever and whenever they want.”
