The »Pop Up_Berlin« label market returns to this year’s Pop-Kultur Festival. And for the first time, it will showcase artists as part of a new kind of speed pitching event: »Mic Drop Sessions.«

In collaboration with Steffi (Better Things) and Marit (GERMAN BULLDOZER), Musicboard Berlin has developed a format that breaks away from traditional pitching. Twelve artists will each get exactly five minutes on stage to show who’s behind the music: What does your sound taste like? Which song would you choose for a karaoke night? What’s your vibe? Authentic, brief glimpses into the artists’ lives beyond bio texts and streaming numbers.

In the audience: Label executives, booking agents, publishers, managers, PR agents, and fans who are on the hunt – for the next big act, for new collaborations, for that moment when you want to say, »I saw them before anyone else did.«

Admission to the »Pop Up_Berlin« is free.
