It’s been a year since Apple Music Live was announced, a series of concerts exclusively on the platform and which can be seen live during their celebration and which are also later uploaded to the platform so that their users can listen to them whenever they want. This is undoubtedly a great way to improve the image of the service, which is already highly rated by many users, and also to attract followers of the artists who host these concerts.

that first season It started with a Harry Styles concertand subsequently broadcast baptism performances such as Billie Eilish, Alicia Keys, Wizkid, Lil Durk and more. Recordings of many of these concerts can also be found in surround audio format, and the concerts are accompanied by exclusive interviews with the artists. For lovers of the sound of live music, it’s not the same as physically going to a concert, but it’s a big added value for Apple Music.

I said it then and I’ll say it now: while Spotify seems to have focused on podcasts (which of course seems totally legit to me), Apple Music concentrates the vast majority of its news on the music side, which allows the Cupertino platform to stand out more and more in this regard. The latest example of this can be found, as you can imagine, in Apple Music Classical, the long-awaited app dedicated exclusively to classical music that fulfills a promise made by Apple following its acquisition of Primephonic.

After a really successful first season, the service renews the concerts with the second season of Apple Music Live, which will debut with an Ed Sheeran concert. Taking place at London’s Eventim Apollo, the concert will take place next Wednesday, May 10 at 11:00 (PT), eight in the afternoon in peninsular Spain, and will be broadcast via Apple Music and, for the first time, also from Apple TV +. Concert recordings will be available on both platforms two hours after the concert begins.

For the debut of the second season of Apple Music Live, Ed Sheeran will perform the songs that make up his new album live for the first time, – (pronounced “subtract”), in an intimate performance, very much in line with the new album, and on which he will have a twelve-piece band, including Aaron Dessner, of the exceptional The National (if not You know , I highly recommend his live version Mansion on the Hill by Bruce Springsteen, is hypnotic).
