The event will also offer music-master classes and recording workshops, a feedback clinic, showcases, a vinyl market and brands exhibition. Industry sessions spread across 10 theatres will include panels on stories of artists who’ve made it, a heads of label masterclass, and a guide to management, radio play, live, songwriting, streaming, sync, social media and self-releasing.

During its 10 years in existence, Introducing has helped launch the careers of Ed Sheeran, Florence and the Machine and The 1975. Across the 200k acts the Beeb has promoted with playlist spots, local radio shows and festival stages, 21 have hit #1 with an album, with 47 appearing in the Top 10, while eight boast #1 singles.
