Ticketmaster International rolls out New For 2020
Ticketmaster International launched its flagship new music campaign with the release of New For 2020.
Highlighting new musical talent from all over the world, New For 2020 was co-ordinated internationally but featured a unique list of emerging acts to watch out for in the new year, curated locally by the Music, Marketing and Artist Services teams at Ticketmaster Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom.
Ticketmaster New For 2020 is an integral part of the ongoing Ticketmaster New Music strategy and brand.
Ticketmaster New Music is a carefully curated selection, showcasing artists we are expecting to make waves in the live music scene. Working closely with record labels, live event promoters and talent agents, our in-house experts handpick the most exciting emerging music.
Ticketmaster UK’s list of acts sees the 3rd consecutive year where the company has sought to highlight the best new music through its New For campaign. Previous years have seen inclusion of artists that have since become household names, including Lew Capaldi, Slowthai and Sigrid.
Working with Ticketmaster’s promoter, talent agent, artist management and record label contacts, New for 2020 identifies the 10 hottest new acts expected to succeed in the live music business in the next 12 months.
Ticketmaster UK’s New For 2020 ultimately includes Manchester rapper Aitch, rising Londoner Arlo Parks, bedroom-pop star beabadoobee, futuristic music maker Bree Runway, BBC Sound Poll winner Celeste, New Jersey-born singer & songwriter FLETCHER, Irish rockers Inhaler, virtuoso US artist Scarypoolparty and West Lothian indie darlings The Snuts.
