For the 2014 edition, Midem has teamed up once again with Sonicbids to offer artists an exclusive opportunity to perform at the Midem Festival.They will receive an exclusive artist pack including rivate showcase, Midem passes and tailor-made career guidance with access to the Midem database, trainings, panels, workshops and more. They will also each receive $1,000 travel stipend, courtesy of Sonicbids and Midem. The two selected artists will showcase alongside bands represented by Universal Music, Rough Trade, and many more industry influencers.
We sat down with the team over at Midem, and asked them a little about the festival and why a band should play. Here is what they had to say:
