What happens when you stop asking "where is the industry going" and start building the answer?
Come and find out!
This year, MUSIC FRONTIERS is going to happen in Hamburg on September 17 & 18 at the epicenter of Reeperbahn Festival - Europe's largest club festival.
Our program goes where most music conferences won't: beyond the current value chain, into the territories where music collides with AI, spatial computing, rights infrastructure, new business models, and the wider creative industries.
Every panel, showcase, and workshop is built around what's next, and not what's already consensus.
Cross-disciplinary by design, attendees will experience a thoughtfully curated program with confrontational discussions, immersive showcases, and valuable insights to redefine the music ecosystem.
MUSIC FRONTIERS serves as a hub for those who are committed to transforming the music landscape for the better. It’s the ultimate experience for top minds in the music biz to learn, connect, and collaborate.
Together, we are going to shape the future of the music ecosystem. The connections made in this room don't happen at any other music business event in your calendar.
If you're building tools, creating policy, producing music, funding innovation, or rethinking how any part of the music industry works, this is where you want to be.
MUSIC FRONTIERS is the event for those who don't want to wait for the industry to change; they're the ones changing it.

Fresh Spins on Music and its ecosystem
PROGRAM TO EXPECT
New economic models, shifting fan relationships, and AI are rewriting the rules faster than most can track.
MUSIC FRONTIERS 2026 is built for those who want to write the next ones.
Each session this year cuts into a specific fault line where the old logic breaks and something new is being built.
Concrete strategies. New solutions. Honest conversations.
Practitioners doing the work, not narrating it from the sidelines.
call for innovators
Innovators, Take the Stage
MUSIC FRONTIERS is opening its Innovation Showcase Stage to founders, builders, and independent thinkers working on the next generation of music tools and services.
If you're developing a solution to a real challenge, whether that's artist financing, fan engagement, live experience, creative tooling, or something the field hasn't named yet, we want to see it in action.
Selected applicants will take the stage for a 15-minute live demonstration. Show us what it does, who it's for, and why it matters. No slide decks about potential. No pitch theater. Just the tool at work.
We're looking for:
- Tools that expand what's creatively possible for artists
- Services that make the industry's workflows less broken
- New models for how artists build sustainable careers
- Anything that changes the relationship between music and its audience.
Deadline: July 22, 2026.
