music bridge tokyo is a showcase music festival and conference that aims to bring together independent and emerging artists from around the world, in the spirit of musical collaboration, information sharing, education, and building a support network they would not otherwise have. The event will take place on April 12 and 13, 2024, in four venues across the central city of Tokyo.
music bridge tokyo is one of Tokyo’s first truly international music showcase festivals and conferences aimed at independent and small-label bands. Rather than marketing major bands for large-scale sale, this event is to allow emerging artists to discover and learn from an international event, in a new market, as well as collaboration with both foreign and domestic artists.
The event organizers are connected to the independent label and creative event community, as well as deeply involved in their local and organic music industries and collectively work towards the sustainable development of the music industry. The event will feature 17 bands from overseas and 14 domestic bands for the Day 1 performances, covering a variety of genres and styles. The performances will occur across four venues, all located near bustling stations in the central city. The total audience capacity is approximately 600 people, but the organizers anticipate the actual number to be higher as people may enter and leave throughout the night. Label representatives and other event organizers will also be in the audience, scouting for new talents and opportunities.
The Day 2 activities will include a welcome lunch, a coffee chat networking session, and two panel presentations. The welcome lunch will give the performers a chance to casually meet the organizers and other performers. The coffee chat networking session will allow the performers to interact with various industry delegates, such as managers, promoters, agents, journalists, and producers. The panel presentations will feature music industry experts who will share their insights and advice on topics such as marketing, distribution, licensing, and collaboration. music bridge tokyo is a unique opportunity for the performers to promote their music, meet with some representatives from the Japanese music industry, meet other performers for future partnerships and collaborations, and experience the vibrant modern music culture in Japan.
