Spotify Will Stream Its First Live Gig In April

Here’s a money-making idea for music-streaming apps – accept a big chunk of change from corporate sponsors (in this case, Nissan), to stream a live broadcast.

Not that the gig, which will be recorded in London on April 5, will offer up anything worth listening to… unless you like La Roux, Delphic, The Naked and Famous and Pony Pony Run Run. Spotify has promised heaps more gigs and festival broadcasts for the future, so that’s one to watch out for when the service launches in the US. [TechRadar]
