RBF @ SXSW

 

The creative trade fair South By Southwest (SXSW), which takes place in Austin, Texas, is considered as a pioneer and source of inspiration in terms of innovation, creativity and diversity in the US music market.

 

As Europe's largest club festival and platform for pop culture and the music industry, we are once again represented at SXSW this year with an extensive one-day program.

 

Together with Hamburg Music and Keychange - our initiative for gender equality in the music industry - we await you as international music industry representatives to exchange ideas at the matchmaking and reception and present up-and-coming acts from Ireland, Scotland and Germany.

That was RBF @ SXSW 2024:
