UPBEAT is the European showcase platform for world music. The 14 current members of the UPBEAT platform can draw support for booking up-and-coming bands, international artists, or even new collaborations. With UPBEAT’s help, members can meet their sustainability goals, organise professional events, conferences, and more. Our mission is to foster a forward-thinking and thriving world music industry in Europe.
Discover and be discovered easier than ever before!
We support festivals in adding up-and-coming artists, international bands and collaborations to their lineup.
Diverse European music, like you’ve never heard before!
We support the artists who need it the most, in order to ensure a thriving and diverse music industry in the old continent.
Experts of the music and entertainment industry are within arm’s reach. The goal is simple: collaboration.
We fund networking efforts within the European world music community.
There’s no future without music, and no music without a plan to make it more sustainable than it is now.
We support our members financially on their path towards sustainability.
All lyrics are meaningful – not only in English. Music in original language carry a unique depth, a chance to focus on how the song feels.
We help create a market for music in original language.
