How to unsubscribe from Spotify emails
The fastest way to unsubscribe from Spotify emails is the notification settings page at spotify.com/account/notifications - sign in, untick the Email checkbox on every category you do not want, save. Spotify's layout is a grid: each category (new music, concerts and events, offers, Spotify news) has separate Email and Push boxes, so you can silence your inbox without losing app notifications. The concert and artist-update mail is the noisy stream for most listeners, since every artist you play can feed it. And if you searched "Spotify unsubscribe" meaning cancel Premium, that is a different setting entirely - covered below.
Try ClearMyInbox free - bulk unsubscribe in one click, free to start.
Method 1: Spotify notification settings (recommended)
- Sign in at spotify.com/account/notifications in any browser. From the mobile app, Settings → Notifications leads to the same account page for the email side.
- Each row shows a category - new music from artists you listen to, concerts and events, product news and offers, Spotify news - with Email and Push checkboxes.
- Untick the Email box on every row you do not want. The concert and artist-update rows are the usual heavy senders.
- Save. The Push column is independent, so app notifications survive an email-only opt-out.
Method 2: the unsubscribe link in any Spotify email
Every Spotify marketing email carries a footer Unsubscribe link, and Gmail and Apple Mail also expose Spotify's List-Unsubscribe header as a native one-click button at the top of the message. Two caveats: Spotify says the change can take up to 24 hours, and the link only removes you from the specific list that sent the email, so a concert-alert opt-out leaves product news running.

Method 3: bulk-unsubscribe across music and streaming senders
Concert alerts rarely travel alone - ticketing platforms, other streaming apps, and artist newsletters usually arrive in the same inbox. ClearMyInbox scans your inbox, lists every promotional sender, and fires real opt-outs in bulk. Doing a music-app sweep? The SoundCloud guide covers its per-notification email toggles, and Netflix has its own eight-category preference center worth clearing in the same session.
Unsubscribing vs canceling Spotify Premium
Stopping the emails and stopping the payments are different switches. Email lives at notification settings, above. Canceling Premium is Account → Manage your plan → Cancel Premium on the web (or via Apple if you subscribed through the App Store), which drops you to the free tier at the end of the billing period. Canceling does not silence marketing - free-tier users get the Premium upsell and winback emails - so flip the email checkboxes off as well if you are leaving.
Verify the Spotify emails actually stopped
Between the 24-hour processing lag and the per-list scope of footer links, it is worth confirming the opt-out took. ClearMyInbox closes that loop: about 30 days after your unsubscribe it re-checks the sender and labels it Confirmed stopped or flags it as still emailing, which catches a concert-alert list that quietly kept going.
What stays on: transactional Spotify email
Security and account mail has no off switch. New sign-in alerts, password resets, payment receipts and renewal confirmations, and notices when someone joins your Family or Duo plan all continue regardless of your notification settings - Spotify states these cannot be disabled for security reasons. That is the correct behavior, not a failed unsubscribe.
Frequently asked questions
Does unsubscribing from Spotify emails cancel Premium?▾
No. Email settings and your Premium plan are separate. You keep Premium (and keep paying) until you cancel under Account → Manage your plan → Cancel Premium. Turning off email notifications only silences marketing and recommendation mail.
Where are the Spotify email preferences?▾
Sign in at spotify.com/account/notifications. Spotify shows each notification category with separate Email and Push checkboxes, so you can silence email while keeping app notifications, or clear both.
How do I stop the concert and artist emails specifically?▾
Those come from the concerts and artist-update categories on the notification settings page, and they are driven by artists you listen to or follow. Untick the Email box for those rows. They tend to be the noisiest Spotify stream because every followed artist can trigger them.
Why am I still getting Spotify emails after clicking unsubscribe?▾
Spotify says footer opt-outs can take up to 24 hours to apply, and the link only covers the mailing list that sent that message. Product news, concert alerts, and Spotify news are separate rows on the notification settings page, so clear each Email checkbox there for a full opt-out.
Which Spotify emails cannot be turned off?▾
Security and account emails. New sign-in alerts, password and payment confirmations, and notices when someone joins your Family or Duo plan are mandatory - Spotify states you cannot turn these off for security reasons.
