Looking back at Eurosonic Noorderslag 2015 it's fair to say that it was a truly multi-faceted and all-embracing 29th edition. 345 Acts performed to an audience of 41,200 music lovers in 50 different venues in the city of Groningen (NL). With the addition of the European Production Innovation Conference & Fair (EPIC) and more venues to the overall programme, the event sold out earlier than previous years and attracted 3,900 industry professionals from all over the world. http://www.eurosonic-noorderslag.nl Photo and video Browse through the EBBA, Eurosonic and Noorderslag photos on Facebook or download photos for publication.

Conference The Eurosonic Noorderslag conference was characterised by a broad range of discussions and presentations covering all kinds of innovation in the music sector. The European Production Innovation Conference & Fair (EPIC) focused on the latest developments at venues and festivals. Other highlights included 'The German Live Market', 'The Festival Panel', 'Backstage! A Retrospective by the Most Experienced Production Managers' and the keynotes from Karsten Jahnke (Karsten Jahnke Konzertdirektion, DE), Duncan Stutterheim (SFX, NL), Alex Macleod (US), Lennart van der Meulen (VPRO, NL) and Nic Jones (Vevo, UK). The Saturday programme followed on just as strongly with the inclusion of political debates about the unifying power of music for society, an extended media programme and practical workshops for artists.
