🌟 Taylor Swift's concert in Amsterdam: An evening of near-perfection! 🌟 Last night, Taylor Swift kicked off the first of her three sold-out shows at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam and it was nothing short of spectacular. National newspaper Algemeen Dagblad (AD) hailed her performance, noting that "During the first of three sold-out concerts in the Johan Cruijff Arena, Taylor Swift approached perfection. The biggest music star of the moment effortlessly captivated her audience with an illustrious marathon show." 🎶 However, AD also pointed out a significant challenge: "Is there nothing Swift doesn't do well tonight? Well, alright: Swift is ultimately not a sorceress; even she cannot save the acoustics in the Amsterdam stadium, although she sings well. But even that is less bothersome tonight, thanks to the Swifties. Because of them, it resonates anyway." 💫 The acoustic limitations of large venues like the Johan Cruijff Arena can pose challenges for even the most talented performers. While these stadiums offer the capacity to host tens of thousands of fans, the sound quality can sometimes fall short of the experience that both artists and audiences deserve. 😕 🔊 This brings me to a critical question: Should world artists continue to perform in these mega stadiums...? 🎤 ✔ or ❌ #TaylorSwift #acoustics #music #concert

Part of ADE last weekend was ADE Green: thé conference on sustainability, innovation & social change in the music industry 🎧. There’s something about events and festivals. They have a certain power: to trigger us, to let us experience and connect in a different way. What can we learn from events as pop-up cities or mini societies to create bigger change?

From The Prompt's newsletter: Posthumous Holographic Performances by The Rolling Stones Suggest Opportunities in Music: Despite the uncertainty surrounding posthumous holographic performances, there is no denying the potential impact and opportunities they present for the music industry. With aging rockstars like Keith Richards and Mick Jagger expressing openness to the idea, it's clear that the technology has advanced enough to make these virtual concerts a possibility. And with fan reactions to the ABBA Voyage tour showing a positive response, it's evident that audiences are eager to see their favorite artists "perform" even after they've passed on. As we continue to push the boundaries of technology and entertainment, the concept of digital twins and virtual resurrection becomes more and more intriguing. Who knows what the future holds for holographic performances and the potential for artists to live on through their digital selves. #technology, Digital Twin

The 50th anniversary of ABBA's Eurovision victory with "Waterloo" marks the beginning of an eventful music year in Stockholm! On April 6th, we celebrate ABBA with a Sing-a-long in Kungsträdgården.    The music year continues in the spring with Stockholm's Culture Night and a series of concerts throughout the year featuring international superstars such as Taylor Swift, P!nk, and Bruce Springsteen.  For Taylor Swift's three concerts in May alone, visitors from approximately 140 different countries are expected, together estimated to spend half a billion kronor locally.    Once again, Stockholm proves why top artists choose to perform here, boasting world-leading producers and a music scene that has made Sweden the largest per capita exporter of pop music globally, and the third-largest overall, behind only Great Britain and the USA. In 2022, revenues from Swedish music exports contributed 2.3 billion kronor, according to Musiksverige.    Stockholm continues to establish itself as a music hub, as evidenced by Seedtable's recent listing of music and audio start-ups to watch and work for in 2024. Thirteen of these startups were based in Stockholm, more than any other city relative to its population size.     #STOCKHOLMSINGALONG #THANKYOUFORTHEMUSIC

Berlin, it's a wrap. FUTURE OF FESTIVALS 2023 is behind us. Thank you Robert Stolt for an invitation, Ivana Dragila for great panel hosting, Eva Balaban for visiting and Špela Pristavec for a great company 💖 and of course big thank you to each and every person, that attended our panel. The space was, as you can see, quite packed. The "Go East" panel delved into the intricate dynamics of the music industry in Eastern countries, with a special focus on Poland and Slovenia. The discussion provided a comprehensive market description, shedding light on the characteristics and challenges prevalent in the Eastern European music scene. From navigating diverse cultural landscapes to addressing industry-specific hurdles, the panel unraveled the complexities that musicians, producers, and stakeholders encounter in this dynamic and rapidly evolving market. And the conclusion? Eastern European countries share exactly the same challenges, market fluctuations, lack of staff (particularly trained staff) and education in event production, rapid rise of costs, and are mostly (contrary to the common opinion) in no way different than other EU countries. #panel #futureoffestivals #berlin #femaleleaders #careermentoring #livetalk #mentoring #music #business #sustainability #experience #career #management #environmental #metaldays #slovenia #live #show #summer #bands #festival #event #femaleentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs
