Why ETEP?
The European Talent Exchange Programme was introduced to make the “exchange” of European artists across Europe possible on a greater scale than ever before. An initiative of Eurosonic Noorderslag, ETEP facilitates the bookings of European acts on European festivals and generates extensive radio and media exposure for these artists in co-operation with the European Broadcasting Union and local media. In this way, ETEP aims to give a boost to the careers of European acts across the continent.

ETEP online
In 2017, over 100 festivals will participate in the European Talent Exchange Programme. Interested to see which festivals, artists, and countries are currently participating and have participated in the past? Please visit www.etep.nl for more information.
