– Sonicbids, the website that helps bands discover and book gigs, today announces a partnership with Eurosonic Noorderslag, Europe’s main conference and showcase festival, to create a new program called EuroSonicbids. EuroSonicbids is a joint venture that financially rewards European festivals to book emerging European talent. This program will create as many as 800 slots across 400 festivals throughout Europe and will be dedicated to the bands playing at Eurosonic Noorderslag 2011, fostering the growth of independent artists in the European music industry.
“Sonicbids is investing heavily in the European market because part of our job as a market leader is to continue to look for ways to evolve our business model. With hundreds of festivals a part of Eurosonic Noorderslag, they’ll be a great partner and will help us expand our network,” said Panos Panay, Founder and CEO, Sonicbids. “As a native European, EuroSonicbids carries personal meaning to me. The goal of this program is to further strengthen Eurosonic Noorderslag’s mission to fuel the exchange of European music and Sonicbids’ mission of presenting global opportunities that will empower a new artistic middle class.”
EuroSonicbids incentivizes European talent buyers to select bands that are involved in the program to play at their festivals.
