NME acts as a media partner of the 2024 ILMC alongside the Music Venue Trust (MVT), Mad Cool Festival, Ticketmaster and more.

The ILMC, which began in 1989, describes itself as “the first-ever dedicated gathering of leading figures involved in the world’s concert industry, many of whom had only ever spoken on the phone”.

A description adds: “It swiftly grew to become the most respected meeting place for live music professionals in the world.

“The ILMC has provided not just a discussion forum that has led to tangible change and evolution within the industry, but an essential opportunity for colleagues to meet, do business and most of all, have fun!”

Its inaugural year saw the likes of L’objectif, Demob Happy, Swim School and Delaporte taking to the stage.
