Evolution Emerging 2018 Conference: Ian Evans (IME)

For many artists who are set to grace (or have already done so) our Evolution Emerging stages over the years, their next step will be to take to further festival stages outside of the North East.

At Generator’s FREE Evolution Emerging Conference (register here), heading to the iconic Sage Gateshead just days before the festival itself, you can get first-hand advice on how to do just that.

During the conference, you can hear from representatives from some of the nation’s largest industry music organisations, in a bid to share a whole host of insider knowledge of the modern music industry.

Among the lineup is IME Music’s Ian Evans, currently programming multiple music festivals across the UK, including Victorious (Portsmouth), Y Not (Derbyshire), Truck (Oxfordshire), and 2Q (Lincolnshire).

Ian has booked superstar acts such as Stereophonics, The Libertines, Clean Bandit and Two Door Cinema Club across his festivals, alongside a whole host of emerging names.

The likes of Sam Fender and #Evo18 headliners The Pale White (both North East natives) have found themselves on IME lineups this year, and you could well do the same.

Hear from Ian, as well as over 25 other industry guests and internationally acclaimed speakers, at the Evolution Emerging Conference on Wednesday 6^th June 2018.
