The next MusicTank panel event will take place on 16 Sep in London, with the aim of shedding light on “what new technology fused with music is bringing to the industry”. A number of start-ups will present their businesses at the event, including ROLI, Immersive Album, Sofar Sounds, Nu Desine and Musion, followed by a debate on what future alliances between music and tech companies will look like.

Announcing the event, MusicTank Chair Keith Harris told CMU: “A chance conversation with Kevin Godley, in which he came up with the phrase “technology is the new Beatles”, has led to the idea of exploring whether technology has the ability to inject the same kind of new vitality into a flagging record industry as The Beatles did to the business in the early sixties. We intend to explore the idea of whether the much maligned march of technology can in fact be the major industry driver over the next couple of years”.

Tickets for the event, called ‘Is Technology The New Beatles?’, are on sale here.
