CityMusic Live is a new way for artists to connect with their audiences to present live streamed and digital concerts.
Join a roster of world-class artists
CityMusic Live was built by and for artists during the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform operates on a profit share system that prioritises the artists and at the same time makes the platform possible and sustainable. All of our work together helps everyone to succeed. See the artist roster here.
Profit share system
Why a profit share system? It helps CityMusic Live cover its administration costs and benefits the artist more as sales increase.
Are there hidden expenses? We try to keep expenses low, and they generally average £15 per concert. Everything above the expenses is profit and is split with the artist following the performance. You will receive box office reports leading up to the concert and a final box office statement following with a request for an invoice from you made to CityMusic Live Ltd. Given the current climate, we try to make payment quickly.
How does PRS work? If any PRS fees are charged to CityMusic Live for a performance, it will be billed to the artist on the same split system as above.

How the platform works
CityMusic Live with the services of Vanderburg & Associates manages the platform, streaming of digital concerts, producing streaming concerts, and setting up on demand concerts. We provide all marketing needs in collaboration with the artist in order to help them reach their audience, and we feature their concerts on all CityMusic Live social media channels and through other marketing channels when possible.
Everything is done remotely, and the artist provides their own video content (unedited video content is fine as we also can edit concert videos free of charge) for digital concerts or their own streaming setup for streamed concerts. This also means that we can host concerts on the platform even during lockdown.
The artist chooses how they would like to present their concerts:
