The Full 2026 Lineup
The MixUp is only the beginning. Here’s what’s coming:
We know that a thriving music industry can’t be built in a single weekend. It grows through consistent connection, education, and support for everyone who makes the music ecosystem work. That’s why our year‑round programming is designed for every role (artist, producer, songwriter, engineer, manager, venue owner, label executive) and every level of expertise, from first‑time creators to seasoned professionals. If you’re learning the basics of publishing, looking for your next collaborator, or ready to mentor the next generation, you’ll find a place here. We don’t gatekeep, we build infrastructure. And we invite you to grow with us, all year long.
