Now That’s What I Call 2026

Fri 27 Feb | 14:15 - 15:15

HOST: Alexandra Ampofo, Metropolis Music (UK)

Promoters, get your chequebooks out – we’ve got the essential compilation of artists set to break in 2026. This ever-popular music-sharing session sees sharp young executives reveal the acts they’ve got their money on.

During the hour, panellists will swap tracks, tips, and tales of the artists that are dominating their playlists. Taking notes from old-fashioned A&R sessions, the young pros will play songs and compare notes on ticket sales, streaming numbers, and more to determine the hottest ticket in town. Participation from the room is strongly encouraged.
