In the coming months, the Reeperbahn Festival will continue to expand its activities as the main European music platform for international and transcultural exchange. Under the title "Reeperbahn Festival International", spin-offs will be established in Nashville, Beijing, New York, Accra and Los Angeles with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office. These spin-offs will promote cooperation between German and European artists and artists from the respective destinations and enable the co-organisation of new networks between music industry players.

Representatives of internationally-oriented music companies from Germany and Europe can now apply to participate in the Reeperbahn Festival spin-offs in Nashville (5–8 May), Beijing (18–19 May) or New York (17–20 June). Prerequisite for participation is activity in the recorded, publishing, distribution or management fields and a concrete interest in the US or Chinese music market.

Application deadline is 4 April 2019. Further information and application details can be found here.

The application deadlines for participation in the spin-offs in Accra (14–16 Nov. 2019) and Los Angeles (March 2020) will be announced soon.

Public showcases featuring German and European artists and artists from the local music scenes are the core of the respective spin-offs and are complemented by matchmaking events and the involvement of delegation participants in the respective conferences of the partner organisers.
