Country partnership 2019: Australia This year's partner country Australia has consistently produced new acts and artists who have succeeded in careers worldwide. For several years now, many new and exciting musical impulses have emerged from Down Under. One of the reasons may be the successful work of the Australian music export office Sounds Australia, undoubtedly one of the most industrious institutions in the world, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. Appropriately, this year's focus is on Australia's music industry. The Australian activities in the German market begin already on Monday, 16 September with THE AUSSIE BBQ BERLIN in Fluxbau, before continuing on Wednesday, 18 September at Reeperbahn Festival. With live shows from 17 Australian acts, receptions, panels, networking sessions and the now legendary THE AUSSIE BBQ showcase in Molotow, which is particularly big this year, our 2019 partner country will be setting programmatic milestones at Reeperbahn Festival for the entire four days. Australia is already prominent at the DOORS OPEN opening event with Dope Lemon performing as one of the musical acts and the participation of TV and radio presenter Zan Rowe on the jury and Maria Amato, managing director of the Australian association of independent record labels on the board of ANCHOR 2019.
Glenn Dickie (Export Music Producer, Sounds Australia) on the country partnership 2019: "This year, Sounds Australia is celebrating 10 years of fast-tracking Australian music success globally and what better way to help celebrate than to bring the party to Hamburg as part of Reeperbahn Festival 2019. We have worked closely with the team for many years now who have helped us to promote the excellent talent coming from Australia to the German market and beyond. This year will see the largest number of Australian artists and industry to ever participate in Reeperbahn Festival. We look forward to meeting as many people as possible, doing business and we hope you will join us for a three stage extravaganza at THE AUSSIE BBQ at Molotow."
