Hey Community,
Remember that teaser we dropped a few months back? We’re excited to announce the wait is over — the show starts now!
nugs — the world’s largest live music archive — is now available directly in Roon! This isn’t just another streaming integration. nugs delivers an entirely new world of music: professionally recorded live concerts. We’re talking decades of legendary performances from artists like Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Billy Strings, Goose, Dead & Company, and hundreds more. New shows are added daily, often just minutes after the final encore. And…we’ve got a free VIP pass for Roon subscribers.
There’s something magical about live music that can never be quite replicated in a studio. Concert recordings preserve spontaneous, unrepeatable moments, letting you step back in time, relive that night, and feel its energy and excitement. Even better, live recordings let your system show you capabilities you never knew it had. Their explosive transients, unbridled dynamics, and raw power reveal what your carefully assembled components can REALLY do — pushing them in ways you’ve never experienced, transforming songs you know by heart into visceral new listening adventures.
In Roon, nugs shows feature distinctive ticket-shaped artwork that makes them instantly recognizable. You can explore shows from the new “Live Shows” section of the OVERVIEW tab and the SHOWS tab on artist pages. Be sure to check out the full nugs section in your sidebar for browsing by artist, year, most popular, recently added, and more great listening options.
With Roon there are even more ways to enjoy the show: stream nugs to any zone, enjoy multiroom playback, fine-tune everything with MUSE, queue live shows alongside your studio albums, and save them to Listen Later. Stack shows from multiple artists and build your own festival. And yes — Roon ARC support is included, so you can take the ultimate live music archive with you wherever you go. Front-row seats every time you press play, everywhere you listen.
