About ESNS
Music moves, challenges and breaks boundaries – both geographical boundaries and the boundaries between people; music has the ability to connect us. The non-profit organization ESNS was founded in order to encourage and facilitate the circulation of European music across the European continent and beyond. In years past, Austrian artists have made a strong impression – most recently with OSKA‘s winning of the “Music Moves Europe” award at the 2023 festival. Now it’s your turn!
“Eurosonic was the first festival I did with my band. I feel like now I’ve grown so much as an artist and it all kind of started in Groningen” — Dua Lipa on playing at ESNS
