So, what actually happens after ESNS? We asked our delegates how ESNS helps them in their career or business and got over 130 (!) responses. We picked out a couple and will be sharing more in the future 🫶🏼

Today you can listen to @gotu_jim 's new song 'Vergeten' featuring @antoonpb , but also dive into his extensive discography. Before closing Noorderslag with a bang, we asked him to rank some of his older tracks. What would be your #1?
Mental health is an increasingly important topic in the music sector, for the artists themselves but also for fans. Music psychologist @anneloehr was part of several conference panels on this subject at ESNS26; so we asked her for the key takeaway that stayed with her after the festival and conference!
@jazzbois 👀 let’s see if this becomes true
What is the Exchange programme, ya say? Well, once an artist is booked at ESNS, they automatically join the Exchange programme, which means bookers from the 130+ partner festivals come see their show at ESNS and select who they want to book at their own festival. Besides that, the media partners will also draw inspiration from who to feature in their next item. The results? A collaborative live music scene that benefits the careers of European artists.
“Europe is about bringing people together”. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, @glenn_micallef ! Today is Europe Day!
We asked European Commissioner @glenn_micallef , Managing Director @annanunen and ESNS26 artist @della_savvidou what a united Europe means for music and art 🫶🏼

ESNS works together with the European Talent Exchange programme. This programme kicks 🦵🏼 off the careers of artists who just played ESNS. How? They partner with over 200 partners festivals whose bookers came to see the shows at ESNS. And guess what? They like what they see: they book ‘em. Curious who got booked on festivals in May? Swipe! 💙
Each month we’ll share the partner festivals that have booked ESNS26 artists. So be sure to keep an eye out 👀
Who was there at Simplon, 10 years ago at ESNS16? If you were one of the lucky ones in the audience, you saw a legend in the making: @stormzy . @bart_heemskerk was also there to capture the moment. In true Then & Now fashion, swipe to see Stormzy in 2024 on a much bigger stage at @szigetofficial , photographed by @benhoudijk 🔥
