What’s happening at UPBEAT?

Artist Mentoring Programme is launched!

We are proud to announce the launch of the brand-new Artist Mentoring Programme, a collaboration between UPBEAT and the European Music Managers Alliance – EMMA!

See you at WOMEX!

It's the end of October which means WOMEX-time in UPBEAT's calendar as well! We are returning to the greatest global hub of world music with two exciting events!

End of an era – first edition of UPBEAT finishing – but this is not a goodbye!

UPBEAT, a groundbreaking European platform for showcase festivals headed by Budapest-based Hangvető, closes a chapter and is ready for the next.
