Stream On Returns March 8, 2023

January 12, 2023

On March 8, Stream On is back! 


During our inaugural Stream On in 2021, Spotify pulled back the curtain to demonstrate how we connect creators and fans and empower creators to live off of their art. We shared company announcements—like how we’re reaching new audiences in markets around the world—unveiled new creator tools, showcased product updates, and touted podcast exclusives.

This year’s Stream On will build on our vertical-defining creator tools, features, and programming in an event streamed live from the Arts District in Los Angeles. We want creators across the world and across disciplines—whether that’s music, podcast, audiobooks, you name it—to experience the event as it happens, so you’re invited to watch the event virtually on For the Record.

During Stream On, we’ll share how Spotify is unlocking new possibilities for more creators than ever before so they can better connect with and build a truly global audience. We’ll also share the latest developments and tools to help more creators chart their pathways to success, get discovered by new audiences, build an engaged community, and connect with fans worldwide. 

So save the date for March 8, bookmark For the Record, follow @Spotify and @SpotifyNews on social media, and stay tuned for much more to come as we create the future together.

Artists and fans have told us that sound quality is important to them. We agree, and that’s why today at Stream On we announced Spotify HiFi. 

Beginning later this year, Premium subscribers in select markets will be able to upgrade their sound quality to Spotify HiFi and listen to their favorite songs the way artists intended.

  1. High-quality music streaming is consistently one of the most requested new features by our users.
  2. Spotify HiFi will deliver music in CD-quality, lossless audio format to your device and Spotify Connect-enabled speakers, which means fans will be able to experience more depth and clarity while enjoying their favorite tracks.
  3. Ubiquity is at the core of everything we do at Spotify, and we’re working with some of the world’s biggest speaker manufacturers to make Spotify HiFi accessible to as many fans as possible through Spotify Connect. 
  4. HiFi will be coupled with Spotify’s seamless user experience, building on our commitment to make sure users can listen to the music they love in the way they want to enjoy it.
