Why speak at ESNS?

Every January, Groningen (NL) transforms into the beating heart of the European music industry when ESNS hosts its showcase festival and music conference. Only the freshest European acts are invited to perform for passionate new fans and industry pros, helping them pave the way to the stages of major European music festivals.

The international music industry was well-represented in Groningen at ESNS 2024, which took place last January. The event attracted over 4,000 music professionals from Europe and delegations from countries such as Canada, India, and Mexico. The music conference featured over 500 speakers addressing diverse and important topics.

Tastemakers from the European music industry, including representatives from companies like Spotify, Universal Music, Google/YouTube, Live Nation, UTA, See Tickets, MIDiA Research, Pollstar, IQ, and over a hundred European festivals and live music venues, attended ESNS 2024.
