Wide Days has attracted key music industry players from the UK, US, Norway, Iceland and the Netherlands, and in 2014 featured a special focus on the German music market. Moreover, the conference was used to launch of the Music Venue Trust, the Off Axis gigging network and establish a green festivals network in Scotland.

This year’s acts – CRYSTAL, Edwin Organ, Graham Costello’s STRATA, LUCIA, Rascalton, Wuh Oh and Zoe Graham – were selected from over 200 applications, and chosen in consultation with a network of A&R scouts, broadcasters, promoters, journalists and festival organisers.
Supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland’s Open Project Fund and PRS Foundation, and presented in partnership with Eventbrite and DIY with Jägermeister, the showcases take place across three city-centre Edinburgh venues: Teviot Row House Debating Hall, La Belle Angele and The Mash House.
