Apple Music announces new livestreaming series: Club Live

Apple Music has launched a new streaming series that will broadcast some of the biggest events around the world. It’s called Club Live, and it just wrapped up its first major music festival: EDC Las Vegas.

While the festival was running last weekend (May 15-17), listeners could tune in for free to the Apple Music Radio station, Apple Music Club, to listen to sets from massive electronic artists as they were performing under the electric sky. 

The broadcast ran across the full hours of the event — 7 p.m. PT – 5:30 a.m. PT. When the festival was closed, the channel would rebroadcast sets from the previous day. Now that the fest has passed, sets from the weekend are available to stream on demand for Apple Music subscribers. Some of the sets will be mixed in Dolby Atmos spatial audio as well.

“Club Live is an extension of what we’re building at Apple Music, a true home for artists and our global community,” said Stephen Campbell, Global Head of Dance, Electronic Music & DJ Mixes.

While hundreds of acts played over the three days, some of the sets that streamed included Porter Robinson, Levity, Josh Baker, Frost Children, and Tiësto. As of now, no future events for Club Live have been announced, but Apple Music says it will broadcast sets from “clubs, festivals, and Apple Music’s studios.”

Campbell continues: “Teaming up with iconic festivals like EDC allows us to connect fans with the energy and culture of dance music at its source. With Club Live and Apple Music as the definitive destination for all EDC DJ sets, we’re opening up these defining cultural moments by bringing world-class performances and the energy of the dance floor to audiences everywhere.”
