The international music festival and conference Tallinn Music Week is postponed to autumn

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 rescheduled event.

In cooperation with TMW and the Estonian industry development organisations, the Estonian Music Market Focus Day will take place on 11 June in Von Krahl Theatre.

“One of the most important objectives of TMW is to support the Estonian music and cultural sector in developing international relations,” says Head of Festival Pärtel Soosalu. “We decided to move the festival from June to early autumn, when we can expect the travel restrictions to be eased. This will also mean that more music industry professionals and exciting artists from all over Europe will be able to participate.”

In light of the new dates, TMW is also opening an additional application round from today 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. Up to 150 artists will be selected to the line-up that will be announced in stages from May.

Taking place from 29 September to 3 October, the TMW festival consists of three programme elements: a multi-genre music festival in various venues across the city, a music industry conference in hybrid format, and a city festival of daytime activities and cityscape explorations. The festival programme will be announced in stages starting in May. In cooperation with the music industry development organisations, the Estonian Music Market Focus Day will take place at Von Krahl Theatre on 11 June. The day will focus on the restoration and rebirth of the Estonian music and culture sector, as well as the related industries. The programme for the event will be announced in April.
