Tallinn Music Week

Tallinn Music Week is a brand new showcase festival, aiming to stage the best and most outstanding Estonian talent on two nights in Tallinn’s most vibrant live venues, as well as a networking event for the music industry professionals. Tallinn Music Week comprises of:

1) Seminar panels and discussion groups with panelists consisting of top professionals from Estonia and abroad and topics ranging from music business to cultural politics.

2) Showcase-programs that stage the best Estonian bands and artists from different scenes and genres. Showcases will be held on two nights in the key venues and clubs in Tallinn and each of them is promoted and presented by a key-festival or event in Estonia:
