Now there is an app that has been specifically optimized for dance music in order to help you find the latest festivals, concerts and surprise shows. For over a decade the music company 'Resident Advisor,' has been curating EDM concerts. Now the company has released an app that taps into its extensive collection of artists and venue listings. The RA Guide app works by determining your location and providing you with a series of [personalized listings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chart-your-music) based on those artists you have favorited on the app or in your iTunes library. The app provides information on large events and smaller venues in over 120 different countries. The app even provides a booking service, which allows you to purchase tickets for an event ahead of time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **EDM Concert Discovery:** An app that uses personalized recommendations and a wide collection of artists and venues to help users discover EDM concerts. - **Location-based Event Listings:** An app that uses location data to provide personalized event listings for users based on their preferences and location. - **Concert Ticket Booking Service:** An app that allows users to purchase tickets for EDM concerts in advance, providing convenience and ensuring attendance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Music Streaming and Discovery:** Technology companies that offer streaming services can integrate personalized event recommendations to enhance the user experience and engagement. - **Event Ticketing and Booking:** Companies in the ticketing industry can develop innovative platforms that offer convenient booking services for concert-goers, improving user satisfaction and sales. - **Location-based Services:** Businesses specializing in location-based services can explore opportunities to provide personalized event listings and recommendations, catering to users' preferences and interests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comprehensive Festival Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festivawl.md) - [App-Assistive Concert Discoveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concert-discovery-feature.md) - [Live Music Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ckord.md) - [Live Music Booking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gig-app1.md) - [Local Event Discovery Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/place-to-be.md) - [Rewarding Dance Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desperados-dance-club.md) - [Music Discovery Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tune-tracker.md) - [Real-Time Nightlife Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightlife-finders.md) - [Innovative Activity-Finding Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-outside.md)
