Airbnb are breaking into the music scene with their newly launched Music Experience.
These experiences offer access to intimate live music performances, underground nightlife and special experiences hosted by artists, industry professionals and those plugged-into the local music scene around the world.
From attending intimate concerts in unique spaces to gaining exclusive access to in-demand gigs or even producing or performing their own music, people will be able to experience a different and culturally unique side of the city they are in.
These experiences initially launched in 12 global cities, and now 39 more, including Dublin, are to be added by the end of the year.

These trips will make travel magical again by immersing travelers in communities around the world and getting unprecedented access to local passions and interests, like violin making in Paris or marathon running in Kenya.
Some examples of these Music Experiences include Grime Scout, in London. This trip includes local grime aficionados leading an inside view on underground music and the nightlife that surrounds it.
In San Francisco there’s the Zen Explorers package. This is a mindful three-day excursion through the hidden beaches and Redwoods near San Francisco, led by two outdoor fitness guides.
Music Experiences will “support up-and-coming and local artists by connecting people to their events and generating a little extra income,” explains Airbnb. “Touring artists often use Airbnb while on the road and so this is the natural next step to immersive ourselves further into the music world.”
