The ultimate music mood board
Real talk, trying to keep track of every major festival, award show, and industry conference is basically a full-time job. Billboard Pro is officially ending the struggle by launching a new, comprehensive music industry events calendar. It’s giving main character energy for anyone trying to stay in the loop on what’s happening in the music scene from now through 2028.
What’s on the horizon?
The list is honestly iconic. You’ve got the MTV Video Music Awards hitting LA on Sept. 27, followed by the legendary Austin City Limits in October. If you’re trying to plan your whole year, they’ve even got the major festival drop dates like Coachella and Stagecoach locked in for spring 2027.
Whether you’re looking for networking mixers, professional conferences like the NAMM Show, or just the best spots to catch a vibe at a festival, this calendar is officially the blueprint. It covers everything from the Grammys to underground networking days, making sure you don't miss a beat.
Why it matters
Staying relevant in the music industry requires knowing where the movers and shakers are actually hanging out. This isn't just a list; it’s a masterclass in networking. If you’re an artist, pro, or just a superfan trying to secure the bag (or at least a ticket), say less—Billboard has you covered.
