Follow The Money - How your LIVE performance royalties travel through Europe and beyond.

You play a festival in Berlin. Then a venue in London. Months pass. Eventually, money trickles in, but how did it get there? For most artists and managers, LIVE royalty flows can be experienced as a black box. You know you played. You know you get paid. But what happens between the stage door and your bank account remains unclear. Until now.

In this panel, Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) from France, the UK, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands map out—step by step—how your live performance royalties move through Europe and beyond. CMOs are working more closely than ever as a united and collaborative network to strengthen the live rights landscape.
