Oslo World Music Festival director Alexandra Archetti Stølen says she is pleased to see an increase in gender-balanced lineups and female festival directors across Europe. The consensus is, though, that there is still much more work to be done, as highlighted by industry campaign group Keychange, which presented its Impact Evaluation Report during the event. Among its representatives at TMW included founder and PRS Foundation CEO Joe Frankland.

Says Frankland, “TMW was the natural home for the launch of our impact report and the Keychange Manifesto 2.0 which will certainly shape our collective effort to forge a more inclusive and more effective music industry.”
