BBC Introducing is running a "festival of discovery" for people looking to get into the music industry

London venue Tobacco Dock will be hosting BBC Introducing Live, a festival that hopes to inspire and teach people who wish to break into the music industry.

BBC Music Introducing is continuing to support young, upcoming talent at all levels by bringing them into contact with top industry bodies and pioneers and that'll be happening across the Introducing Live weekend in November.

The event will take place over 3 days, hosting a variety of events including masterclasses, interactive sessions, practical workshops and Q&As. The BBC has gathered more than 250 speakers on every aspect of the industry imaginable. Everyone from label managers, radio hosts and songwriters will provide some serious knowledge that can’t be taught elsewhere. Some of the speakers include Kano, Danny Howard and Sir Spyro. From broadcasting to directing music videos, if you create music related content, there is something for you.

The 15,000 young creatives who are expected to attend are also in for performances from Deadmau5, Duke Dumont and Riton & Kah-Lo among others.

Be sure to visit the Independent Label Market, where some of the finest independent outfits including White Peach and Erased Tapes will be hosting pop ups for the duration of the festival.
