Since the end of the Covid-19 restrictions, neighborhood pressure has been increasing. From open-air festivals to music venues, neighborhood associations across Europe have complained to police and municipalities to ban live music activities.

In France, new experiences are being tested with the non-profit organization AGI-SON to find technical solutions and possible mediation between live music organizers, local authorities and the population. At the same time, Live DMA is collecting cases of endangered venues across Europe to connect and support live music organizers.

Together with our colleagues in Spain, we will compare the situations and discuss how to benefit from these initiatives.
