SPIKE – Bulgarian Music Showcase - will take place May 26-28 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Bulgaria is joining the global showcase festival network. The showcase festival is comprised of a conference and series of music performances. The conference includes panel discussions and workshops that touch upon diverse topics in the music industry. This year we have a special focus on:
• challenges faced by artists in the Eastern European market
• artist development through good management practices and booking agency support
• inclusivity and equality in the music industry
Musical artists are the main beneficiaries of the showcase festival platform, which facilitates their networking with the movers and shakers of the industry on a global scale
The conference will contain a few sessions in Bulgarian, however, the working language of the music industry (including SPIKE) is ENGLISH.
