🚀 It’s ESNS week

We’re getting ready for a busy edition where we will be celebrating the launch of our new EU grant together with our friends at the European Talent Exchange Platform.

We’re also looking forward to the MME Awards ceremony, where this year’s winners will be announced, and joining the panel discussion organised by the European Commission on the role of EU-funded platforms and networks in shaping Europe’s music ecosystem.

A huge THANK YOU 🙏to all the venues, partners, funders, and of course, the incredible artists who have been part of our journey these past 10 years.

Here’s to the next 10 years—and beyond!🚀

We start the new year with a call for a more ambitious EU strategy for music.

In this op’ed, the directors of the Liveurope venues are sounding the alarm on the sector's increasing strain due to rising costs and the growing power of major multinational conglomerates.

When you look past the headlines and headliners, the live music sector’s resurgence from covid masks a dark and lopsided reality.

We are happy to hear them share how their programming has become more diverse and how touring opportunities for emerging European artists have increased.🙌

🌠What does Liveurope mean for the venues that are part of it?

As we celebrate 10 incredible years of platform, we asked this very question to the people behind the scenes at our member venues.

[Liveurope @Liveurope]

To celebrate this milestone, we invited representatives from our venues, artists, and decision-makers to share their thoughts on Liveurope and its impact on the music sector.

👀 Here’s what they had to say.

Growing the number of venues in the platform will remain a key priority, along with a stronger focus on sustainability and gender equality.
