Ahead of Louder Than Life kicking off next week, the festival have revealed that they have joined forces with Spotify for some special collaborative treats.
The pair have created some ways for you to get ready for the big four-day bonanza before you even step on site, with a curated playlist you can check out here. There is also a Louder Than Life experience that takes place with the Spotify app and can be accessed right here, where performance footage will be shared, allowing you to enjoy the festival vibes whenever you want.
Additionally, there will also be a dedicated Louder Than Life x Spotify merch tent on site throughout the weekend, where exclusive merch will be on sale.
Chamie McCurry, Chief Marketing Officer and General Manager of Danny Wimmer Presents, had this to say about the collaboration:
“Louder Than Life has always been about more than four days of music, it’s about the community that surrounds this festival and the connection our fans have with these artists year-round. Partnering with Spotify gives us an opportunity to extend that experience well beyond the festival grounds, creating new ways for fans to discover the lineup before they arrive in Louisville and relive some of those incredible moments long after the weekend is over. Spotify is already where so much music discovery and fandom happens, which makes this a really natural partnership for Louder Than Life.”
Whilst Chissy Nkemere Cherian, Artist Partnerships at Spotify, had this to add:
“Rock and metal fans are some of the most passionate in the world, and Spotify is always looking for new ways to celebrate and deepen their connection to the music they love,” says.The partnership with Louder Than Life brings that to life, showing up for the community in a real way and amplifying the listeners and moments that make this scene unlike anything else in music.”
