From Discovery To Stage: Programming Tomorrow's Artists

What goes into curating, booking and presenting Europe's largest festival and conference dedicated to the discovery of new music? Our next guest, Adam Ryan, has spent the better part of his adult life tirelessly discovering, promoting and presenting new music locally, nationally and internationally. He is now the Head of Music at The Great Escape Festival, taking place annually in Brighton, UK. How different is it curating a renowned three-day festival versus booking a venue? What could today’s artists learn about building strong live promoter relationships? Can artists book themselves onto festivals before having a team? How important is it to “be nice” to your promoter and your sound person? COVID has decimated the live music community around the globe. Has any good come from an entire industry needing to pivot and re-evaluate what it means to present live performances? What does the future hold for the industry? We ask all of these questions, whilst finding out how to bounce back (if we have not already).

The Great Escape - The Festival For New Music 
Founded in 2006 the festival showcases over 400 emerging artists from all over the world across 35 walkable venues for three days, every May in Brighton, England.  The event also features a music industry conference attended by over 3000 delegates from across the globe.
