Our inaugural Four Corners lands on Monday 1st June, opening with a panel discussion exploring the evolving relationship between music artists and audience.

In an age where algorithms dictate discovery and streaming platforms dilute connection, how can artists cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships with the people who value their work most?

We’ll explore the growing importance of direct community and more intentional forms of and spaces dedicated to musician-audience interaction, looking at how a smaller number of highly engaged supporters can hold more value than a vast but distant following.

Joining the conversation are industry voices and community builders Charlie Dark MBE, Ahnansé, founder of Steam Down, Sophie Brownlee from the Nightlife Taskforce, and Amy Spencer from Stones Throw Records.

For artists, A&Rs, music marketers and anyone interested in the future of culture, community and creative independence.
