The European Talent Exchange Programme helps European artists get booked on festivals across Europe and beyond. Are you next?

A joint force of the music ecosystem

You're probably wondering how we do what we do. We'd love to tell you!

To help European artists get booked on festivals across and beyond Europe, we work with Yourope and the EBU. They represent 130 partner festivals where artists can be booked, and 31 media partners for promotion.

On top of that, European Talent Exchange brings together 23 members and five associated partners, including 26 export offices.
