Initially planned for June, the international music and city festival Tallinn Music Week (TMW) will take place in autumn. The new dates for the festival are 29 September – 3 October. An additional application round is open from today until the end of April for those artists, who would like a chance to perform at the festival.
In cooperation with TMW and the Estonian industry development organisations, the Estonian Music Market Focus Day will take place on 11 June at Von Krahl Theatre.
“One of the most important objectives of TMW is to support the Estonian music and cultural sector in developing international relations,” comments Head of Festival Pärtel Soosalu.
“We decided to move the festival from June to early fall, when we can expect the travel restrictions to be eased. At that time the event could benefit from the participation of European music industry professionals and also include as many exciting foreign artists as possible.”
In light of the new dates, TMW is also opening an additional application round until 30 April for those artists, who would like to play on the new dates of the festival. All applications that have already been submitted are still in force. In total, the festival will confirm the participation of up to 150 artists. The line-up will be announced in stages starting in May.
