2008 brings the Danish music scene closer to Central Europe

the rocking factory is extremely proud and thrilled to announce that it will be representing ROSA – The Danish Rock Council, in BENELUX and France. Thus, as of today, the rocking factory is taking on the role as ROSA – The Danish Rock Council’s BENELUX/France project consultant. The cooperation aims at boosting Danish popular music’s profile in the region. We will strive to meet this ambitious goal via a dynamic, long-term oriented work process. The rocking factory is happy to underline that the main incentive for the cooperation is a common mindset, which bodes well for the future.

ROSA – The Danish Rock Council is one of the most important cultural institutions for popular music in Denmark. ROSA – The Danish Rock Council annually organizes SPOT (the biggest Nordic showcase festival for new popular music), supports the development of new talents in Denmark, supports new Danish bands in their international career development, frequently collaborates with international partners, is a co-founder of MXD – Music Export Denmark and holds the vice-president seat in MXD – Music Export Denmark’s board of directors.

ROSA – The Danish Rock Council’s new local presence will mean several things for people operating and living in BENELUX and France:
  • In 2008 several events featuring Danish music will take place at prominent venues and festivals in Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg
  • The Danish music scene will become accessible to people in the region on a daily basis. On the business, audience and political level
  • The “music bridge” between Denmark and the region will become solid. Thus, 2008 also opens doors in Denmark via projects such as PLATFORM and a special international night at the SPOT festival
