How the showcase model works

Breaking Sound says each showcase typically features four to six emerging acts at premium venues. Its network includes cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Toronto and others.

There is no booking fee to perform. Artists are expected to participate in promoting the event and sell some tickets through their unique ticket link as part of the platform’s collaborative model.

Who should consider applying

  • Emerging artists with a live set ready to perform
  • Artists looking for access to curated venue lineups
  • Acts willing to participate in event promotion
  • All musical genres are considered
Before applying: make sure your strongest live material is easy to find. Breaking Sound is a live-showcase platform, so the application should prove that the project works on stage — not just in a studio mix.
