Live Music Venues: What Lies Ahead

Commercially driven urban happening nights spots, community hubs, or art driven black box spaces - venues are the heart of the arts, giving the space for artists and audiences to come together. This session brings together venues with different programming perspectives to share their views on what drives them to create such spaces, and beyond the entertainment business what they foresee as the future for live music performance venues in an era of experiential festivals.

Social is the land of the free(lancer) and home of creative souls looking for an exhilarating alternative to a typical work day. In Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai, Social is a path-breaking urban hangout that’s designed to take you offline while still keeping you connected; a place where networking can happen even if the net’s not working (don’t worry, the net’s always working). Social is a collaborative workspace, a hub for artists, designers, and innovators. It’s where entrepreneurs meet photographers, writers meet web developers, creative independents meet to bounce ideas off like-minded peers.
