We are thrilled to announce that UPBEAT community welcomed 4 new members, expanding the platform to a network of 20 member festivals in total!
SoAlive Music Conference (Bulgaria)
So Alive Music Conference is not unknown in the UPBEAT universe, but their status in the constellation has changed, as they became an official member from associated partners. By promoting dialogue and creating networks, the conference acts as a catalyst for nurturing and promoting SEE artists, fostering their integration and representation within the EU’s vibrant and diverse musical landscape.
SHIP (Croatia)
SHIP is not a festival where you come to hear bands you already love, it’s a place where you fall in love with bands you’ll hear and see for the first time. Located in the photogenic coastal town of Sibenik, the festival hosts the annual celebration of mainland Europe’s finest sounds and selections it has to offer. The festival is a celebration of music by night and a conference that sprawls across the city by day.

It aims at contributing to the professionalization of the arts sector in the region and presenting the most recent creations of its artists, as well as other outstanding proposals from other countries and regions.
