Today European Music Managers Alliance (EMMA) and several networks launch a campaign for a new European vision for touring that reduces the time-consuming and costly barriers for touring artists produced by withholding taxes. Highlighting that US artists benefit from generous exemptions when touring Europe, creating an unfair playing field.
IMPALA’s outstanding contribution award goes to Horst Weidenmüller, CEO and founder of !K7 Music and founder of IMPALA’s Sustainability task force, for his outstanding contribution to the European independent music sector.
IMPALA’s One Step Ahead is back with a report (to be released very soon) and webinar on the latest trends in music rights and consumption.
With COP29 drawing to a close, IMPALA encourages members to assess their environmental impact, recognise the associated business benefits, as outlined in the Business Case for Sustainability released earlier this year and support initiatives such as the Global Call to Action to Put Culture At the Heart of Climate Policy.
IMPALA is the European organisation for independent music companies and national associations. The sector is made up of micro, small, medium businesses and self-releasing artists. They are world leaders in terms of innovation and discovering new music and artists. Independents account for more than 80% of all new releases in Europe and 80% of the sector’s jobs. More info…
