Eurosonic has now become the European
showcase festival for up-and-coming bands and artists, and the EBU
is at the heart of it.
The European pop music scene is absolutely
buoyant these days, and "border breakers" are becoming something to
be reckoned with on the music scene. The Festival offers the
perfect opportunity to give audiences access to promising European
new talent, thanks to the pivotal support of EBU broadcasters.
On Friday, 10 January 2003, 20 EBU stations
will support 24 acts to perform at the Festival: BBC Radio 1
(United Kingdom), RTBF Radio21 (Belgium), SR P3 (Sweden), SER Los
40 Principales (Spain), ARD/MDR Sputnik (Germany), VRT Studio
Brussel (Belgium), Radio France Le Mouv' (France), NRK Petre
(Norway), RAI Radio 2 (Italy), YLE Radiomafia (Finland), NPB 3FM
(Netherlands), DR P3 (Denmark), RDP Antena 3 (Portugal), RUV RAS2
(Iceland), ERSL 100.7 (Luxemburg), RSR Couleur3 (Switzerland), SR
Radio Rock FM (Slovakia), ORF FM4 (Austria), Magyar Radio
(Hungary), Teleradio Moldova (Moldova).
NPB/Netherlands, VRT/Belgium,
ARD-NDR/Germany and SR/Sweden will collaborate technically for the
production and the broadcast of the event on the EBU satellite. The
transmisision will begin at 19h00 GMT (20h00 CET) and will finish
at 02h00 GMT (03H00 CET) on Ravel channel.
All involved believe that there is a great
deal of good music coming out of European countries and that it is
not heard enough. Thanks to this unique collaboration among
broadcasters, organizers, artists and record companies, the
Eurosonic Festival is the ideal platform to discover new
talent.
