The European Talent Exchange Programme

Acts that play at ESNS are eligible for the European Talent Exchange Programme (ETEP).

ETEP was introduced in 2003 to make the ‘exchange’ of European artists across Europe possible on a greater scale than ever before. An initiative of ESNS, ETEP facilitates the bookings of European acts on festivals outside their home countries and generates extensive media exposure for these artists in cooperation with 27 EBU radio stations, 15 export offices and a broad network of local media. This way, ETEP aims to give a boost to the international careers of European artists.

As part of ETEP 2018 Alice Merton, Alma, Altin Gün, AvAvAv, Cari Cari, Dermot Kennedy, Meute, NAAZ, Pale Waves, Rejjie Snow, San Holo, Sigrid, Superorganism, Tamino, Tshegue, Zeal & Ardor and Zulu Zulu played, or will play, a lot of festivals, kickstarting their careers with help from the European Talent Exchange Programme.

In the past, acts like Aurora, Dua Lipa, Hozier, Ibeyi, Jaakko Eino Kalevi, MHD, MØ, Shame and Tommy Cash played successful showcases at ESNS and benefited from ETEP.
