WHAT IS BIG BREAK?

Bandsintown Big Break, is the first and most ambitious fan data-driven emerging artist program, which identifies artists who have grown rapidly between 100 and 5,000 Trackers within a 6 month period. 20 rising stars will be handpicked and will be provided with maximum exposure across our network over 12 Months, giving fans everything they need to know about the fresh faces turning the industry upside down.

WHY EMERGING ARTISTS?

As the most trusted source for concert discovery (50% of users RSVP to a show they discovered through our recommendations), we’re committed to helping emerging artists of all kinds grow their careers and connect with an audience, made up entirely of passionate music fans.

“We’re super excited to be part of the program. Bandsintown is really valuable in ensuring the group’s fans know about upcoming shows and it’s really awesome they’re supporting emerging artists.

— Peach Pit

“Our best memories have been at live shows-be it dancing in the crowd or performing onstage. Thrilled to be recognized by a platform that has been such an essential part of our musical experience for years.

— KOLARS
