Just updated to 11.0.3. They fixed that. Russia.
Just updated to 11.1 beta 2 and now they fixed that!!! Tapping on artist name now works!
Try fully resetting the phone by holding down the power button and slide to power off wait 5 mins for the capacitors to drain and the turn it back on. If this doesn't work try going to an Apple store to get it looked at.
Hope this worked,

This problem is related to missing Follow/Share with friends feature:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207948
Users who do not have this friends sharing feature are reporting this bug:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8081532
Sharing your listening activities with your friends is directly related to your choice of artists. Therefore, when you intend to enter an artist's page, a simple code which associates this activity with your friends following/sharing processes becomes (or tends to become) active. Butas you are not able to use/activate this friends feature, the code becomes a bug itself.
So the question is, why don't we have this new friends feature of Apple Music?
Hello. I've this issue too on my iPhone 6s Plus.
I'm from Russia.
This issue is on several firmwares:
- iOS 11,
- iOS 11.0.1,
- iOS 11.1 beta,
But it's works on iOS10.
This doesn't seem to work. My only thoughts that maybe it's better to restore iphone in DFU mode, maybe something went wrong because of beta versions I've used. But it will take a time to restore all, so I wanted to know is mass problem or only mine.
This seems like a region specific bug. So far, this problem is reported only by users from Turkey. Where are you from FV?
Here is a demo iOS 11 Music.app issues with clicking on Artist - YouTube
I talked to Apple today and they confirmed that Friends Feature is not available in Russia, China and Turkey. So I hope they could be careful enough to separate unresponsive artist names bug from this region restriction and solve our simple but very annoying problem.
From Russia. Problem started when I installed public beta 4, then 5, 6, GM. yesterday installed 11.0.1 the same
Did you installed ios11 beta earlier this summer? Like ios 11 beta 4 or 5 ?
No, I didn’t.
I’ve installed iOS 11 Golden Master
Didn't they explain why these features aren't available in our countries?
I didn't ask because I'm sure they will give standard answers like "according to our policies, etc."
