MUSIC FRONTIERS 2026

We are thrilled to finally share with you the fantastic news that MUSIC FRONTIERS will return in 2026. 😎
This year, it will take place in Hamburg on September 17 & 18as part of the official Reeperbahn Festival conference program, but as a standalone event.
We are genuinely excited about this partnership, and it is deliberate.
Every year in September, the international music industry converges at the Reeperbahn Festival.
MUSIC FRONTIERS draws the people building the tools and infrastructure for it.
This is a meaningful step up in bringing together music professionals, technologists, researchers, and creative entrepreneurs who are actively shaping what comes next for music. A sustainable and successful future for music can only be achieved together. 🙌 What sets MUSIC FRONTIERS apart is its premise: rather than reiterating familiar industry problems, our program foregrounds new visions for music and its industry, products that already exist, models that already work, and the people building both.
The formats stay what they've always been. Curated rooms of forward-thinking people, sessions built around the topics that matter right now, solutions for the future, and enough space to have the conversations that don't happen on stage or in your conference rooms.
MUSIC FRONTIERS takes place at Angie’s Nightclub and Schmidtchen, both located directly on Spielbudenplatz.
We'll announce the speakers, sessions, and more in the coming weeks.
And you can choose: Either buy a ticket for MUSIC FRONTIERS here and attend all our sessions - but not the Reeperbahn Festival Conference program, or buy a Reeperbahn Festival pass here and attend both.
If you want to become an official MUSIC FRONTIERS PARTNER for this year's event, please get in touch. We have a ton of fab opportunities to get your brand in front of the people that matter to you.

MUSIC FRONTIERS is supported by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Department of Culture and Media.
