Liveurope – launch of new European music platform
Liveurope, a new European music platform co-funded by the EU Creative Europe programme, will bring together 13 well-known venues in 13 countries across Europe.
The platform will be launched at 1pm tomorrow (Friday 10 October) at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels (Bd Anspach 110). The Ancienne Belgique is the coordinator of the initiative, which aims to increase the number of up-and-coming European artists performing at Liveurope venues and to help the artists reach new audiences beyond their home market.
The Liveurope 'label' will be promoted across the live music scene and other concert halls will be encouraged to back the scheme. An annual Liveurope conference is also planned. The 13 Liveurope music venues are:
