FAC Artist Days are all about artists: their stories, their challenges and their journey. Find out how to get the most out of your music, your fanbase and your rights - and how to pick and get more from your business partners - with practical advice and case studies from fellow artists, and the very latest insights on streaming, touring, marketing and music tech.
Presented by the Featured Artists Coalition and CMU’s Chris Cooke, each stop on our UK tour brings together local talent and national voices. In Newcastle, we’re teaming up with Generator to deliver a day of talks, insights and conversations for the region's artists.
Hear from Man Power (Geoff Kirkwood), Ruth Lyon, along with Jaff (The Futureheads), as they provide insight into their careers and open up about their journey in the business. Plus, put your questions to industry experts, meet and network with your local music community, and join the big debates about the issues facing artists.
Thanks to the generous backing of Arts Council England and PPL, 2025's FAC Artist Days are free to attend.
If travel costs are a barrier to attending, we have a limited budget to contribute to travel bursaries to assist attendees from the local area. Please get in touch using the contact button if you feel this would be useful.
