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!
UPBEAT Night at the offWOMEX Stage (Olympia)
As is almost tradition now the UPBEAT Platform is bringing three new upcoming artists from around Europe to the offWOMEX Stage. Three bands, three different vibes and three new experinces – see you at the Olympia, offWOMEX stage:
- Ra di spina (IT) – mixing traditional with the contemporary,
- Eben (FR) – the best assets for the future of Breton music and Brittany night’s parties,
- HrayBery (PL/UA) – reviving the forgotten music of a bygone era, dance music from 200 yrs ago.
Join us on 25 October from 21:45 at Olympia offWOMEX Stage!
UPBEAT Press Reception
We look back at the first three years and look forward to the next at the UPBEAT Press Reception, where WOMEX Director Alex Walter, Kata Jávor, Veronika Vajda and half of 2025’s Best New Talent Awardee duo, Daniel Lazar will talk about how the platform has contributed and what’s in store.
See you in Tampere!
