Panel

Fair Play: Wer finanziert die Zukunft der Livemusik?

The focus is on how politicians, artists and the major players in the industry can work together in future to take responsibility for securing the long-term future of live music culture. While small clubs, independent promoters and up-and-coming artists are coming under increasing pressure, the music market is growing on the side of the big acts and corporations.
