MY @dtrh_festival DEBUT IS HERE!!!
I’m so so GRATEFUL and excited to be able to be part of this and so happy to finally share this news to everyone. It’s a dream come true 🤍
LET’S GET ITTTT
@sia.sierra brings the heat to Rotterdam this April with bouncy ghetto tech and high-energy club pressure. Catch her playing at @kroonjuweelfestival hosted by @fuckfugazii 💥
QUANZA dropped his latest, FALL FOR YOU, last week via @backboard.nl . With New Music Friday, @3voor12 putting his Vagabond EP in their Most Promising spring releases of ‘26, it makes sense he’s playing @motelmozaique - he just got announced for the Rotterdam eclectic festival.
@esns.nl recap post!
This time we look back at the MME Education Day. E5 was the project manager and program curator for this day - happy to be back for the 4th time to help make this come to life!
The day began with a lunch with Europe’s best bookers. During this speed-lunch the artists and young professionals held conversations with the bookers to find out what is needed to secure those next bookings.
After lunch, we delved into the world of sync, where sync agent Jade Miranda and Mark Garfield listened to the music of the MME Artists. They gave examples of songs that could be suitable for a sync opportunity.
The group was then divided into 3 breakout sessions. They could choose from:
“A day in the life of a manager of a breaking band”
“Touring without burning out”
“A 101 on music rights for emerging artists”
Later on the group reunited for the final two panels on optimizing your stage setup and international touring. The day completed with drinks and the MME Awards Artist Dinner.
-The Activation Formula: What Makes Festival Brand Activations Truly Work?-
@danieldekeizer programmed this year’s panel on brand activation at ESNS, presented by Yourope. Moderator @mainonthegram led the conversation among the YFA Band Activation Award nominees, who shared their expertise on stage.
This panel explored which elements contribute to strong and meaningful brand activations at festivals. Themes such as sustainability, diversity, culture, and connection were central. The nominees shared their experiences from the European festival landscape and discussed how brands and festivals can strengthen each other within these values.
Are you creative, independent, and do you think inclusively? We’re looking for an enthusiastic intern.
We have an opening for an intern next month at E5! Reach out via email or send a DM for follow-up questions.🚀
“QUANZA is een fluïde rockster in spé” - @3voor12
Afgelopen zaterdag stond QUANZA met zijn band op Noorderslag en daar maakte hij veel indruk. Een overvolle zaal, enthousiaste programmeurs en een dynamische show: waarin hij psychedelische rock mixte met een sexy jazzmood en vervolgens punkenergie ingooide à la N*E*R*D. 3voor12 plaatste zijn show op plek 14 in hun top 25 van beste shows. “Op precies het goede moment gooit hij vuig gescheur in de mix, ruig genoeg om op te kunnen headbangen. Heel ziek – en met luid gejoel ontvangen door het publiek. De laatste nummers van de show jengelt en ramt hij er op los, wat extra lekker is na alle verschillende muzikale landschappen waar we eerder doorheen zijn gevoerd.”
De recensie kent geen onvertogen woord: volgens de muzieksite maakt QUANZA alle claims die hij maakte waar. Jimi Hendrix on stage, Quincy Jones in de studio’s - hij is klaar voor de festivalzomer!
