The Takeover returns this October and becomes the first online music conference designed to support the challenges faced by independent artists. Tickets are on sale now from DICE.
The Takeover
Back in May, Right Chord Music launched The Takeover, an online music festival championing incredible independent artists. The Festival showcased 49 artists, from 11 different countries playing live on Facebook. Presented by BOSE we generated over 600,000 video views and raised over £4,000 for Nordoff Robbins music therapy.
The Takeover Conference For Independent Artists
Right Chord Music Founder, Mark Knight explains. “In my experience even music conferences which say they support unsigned artists don’t really cater to their needs. Tickets costs are high and all you hear is major record label execs talking about their big budget campaigns on radio and John Lewis sync deals. As a result unsigned artists leave feeling frustrated, because none of this is in their grasp or relevant to their realities.”
In response to this problem, Right Chord Music have created a conference that gives unsigned and independent artists the inspiration, skills and practical tools to further their careers now.
The Takeover Conference takes place throughout October. Whereas physical conferences often cram as many talks as they can into one or two days The Takeover will run one session a day, so you don’t miss a thing. The conference will run via Zoom Call making it easy to bring together musicians and marketing experts.
