Industry events at the Community festival confirmed
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 October 2015
Details have been announced of events being organised for music industry people attending the new Shoreditch-based showcase festival Community next week.
As previously reported, the new festival from Live Nation and Festival Republic will present a line-up of new artists in a variety of East London venues, for punters and industry people alike. Community curator Jon Mcildowie explained earlier this year that “Community is an opportunity for us to share the music that we are all excited about and to introduce new artists to the public before anyone else”.
Bookers from festivals the world over will be in attendance, alongside an assortment of other industry types and, in addition to the gigs, a programme of talks, networking and social events will take place for that audience at the Ace Hotel.
It includes three sessions presented by our consultancy unit CMU Insights. CMU MD and Business Editor Chris Cooke will provide an overview of the wider music industry as we head towards 2016, plus we will then lead two conversations.
The first will look at the expanding and evolving role of online playlists in building profile, audience and revenue for new artists; while the second will explore the YouTube universe, the reach and impact of the YouTube stars, and how the music industry could be better connecting with that community.
Full information about the wider festival, and the industry delegate programme, can be found online at www.communityldn.com.
