New at ESNS23
We are proud to present that we are expanding the opening night of the festival!

Among others, WDR Rockpalast will record live shows on two stages at Huize Maas on Wednesday night, to be broadcast on German national television.
On Saturday ESNS shifts its focus to the Netherlands. The conference will be relocated from De Oosterpoort to the city centre with the Forum as its focal point. As always, Noorderslag, the festival that presents the most promising Dutch artists every year, will take place in the Oosterpoort starting at 17.00 hrs.

ESNS Conference
Last week Scott Cohen, co-founder of the music distribution company The Orchard (now owned by Sony) and the first-ever Chief Innovation Officer at Warner Music Group got confirmed for a keynote at the ESNS Conference. Recently, Scott Cohen announced his departure from Warner to start a new venture around the fractionalized ownership of music royalties. While the details around this new company remain unknown for the time being, you can expect a cutting-edge keynote from one of the pioneers in the music industry.
Previously, ESNS added more speakers to the conference programme; a keynote address with MiDiA Research’s Mark Mulligan (MiDiA Research), Helienne Lindvall (Swede as Candy Music) and Kriss Thakrar (MiDiA Research) will dive deeper into the fan economy, delegates from the music sector and the EU will discuss the state of the industry getting greener in the panel talk Going Green, the music sector in conversation with the EU, and Anne Löhr (Mental Health in Music) will be running the Mental Health Help Desk. Besides this, there will be lots more to discover at the ESNS Conference this year.
