It was in 2015 that DIY had its first European partnership with ESNS (then Eurosonic), with our first DIY showcase stage on a (frozen!) Dutch barge in 2016. With the support of ESNS and Reeperbahn Festival we have since established strong relationships with the European music industry partnering lead countries, export agencies, ETEP, and marketing festivals and label artists across Europe to our global 1m+audience. Europe is a key market for UK music export as well and, despite Brexit, we will continue to help build even stronger relationships going forward.
