FES
– The European Festival Association
Founded in November 1998
Today representing over 80 festival and associated members from over 26 countries
with a budget of around Euro 340 million, venues with a capacity of 4.5 million persons
and 12 million visitors over all the festival days.
Yourope members are dedicated to improving the European festival scene in terms of:
•
•
•
•
•
working conditions
health and safety issues
environmental awareness and event sustainability
exchange of knowledge and information
promoting the cross-border exchange of live music talent
– The European Festival Association
• The overall aim of the association is to collaborate, share experiences and to pinpoint areas
that would benefit from a joint approach.
• Having gained respect within the industry and at government level, Yourope also has the
power to lobby for all legal and industry issues relating to the European festival industry
on behalf of its members and together with other associations in the live music business.
• Yourope also focuses on other key issues for festivals – such as exchange of information
regarding marketing and sponsorship, contracts, production riders or radio/TV/internet rights
and more.
• After several workshops from 2012-2014 and under guidance from music lawyer Ben Challis,
the Yourope standard terms for artist contracts and a standard agreement are available to use.
Yourope is a founding partner of the European Talent Exchange Program (ETEP) and has
been active during Eurosonic Noorderslag for many years.
ETEP stimulates the circulation of European artists within Europe by performing at selected
festivals troughout Europe.
• Every year more than 200 confirmed shows by over 100 unique European artists from
at least 20 countries at the now 85 – and counting – ETEP festivals!
• Since the start of the ETEP programme in 2003 a total of 1970 shows by 708 European
artists were presented at the 81 ETEP festivals (2003 – 2013).
•
Due to financial support from the European Commission for the next years Eurosonic
Noorderslag, Yourope and all other participating partners will be able to continue the already successful ETEP program and develop it. In the next years we will be able to add
more festivals and create more results for the selected ETEP acts and festivals and work
on better opportunities and border breaking carriers for European Artists in Europe

– Yourope Event Safety Group
Since 2006, Yourope has organised over a dozen health & safety seminars for festival security, safety
and crowd management staff from all over Europe.
Headed by a steering committee led by Chris Kemp from MOM and Henrik Bondo Nielsen from the
Roskilde Festival, the seminars and workshops have had a big impact on Yourope in recent years. The
YES group in cooperation with the Bucks New University are also pleased to announce the launch of
the Professional Certificate in Event Safety and Security Management.

– Green’n’Clean
Green issues mark one of the main topics for Yourope. Since 2006 the association offers its
members a broad range of environmental guidelines for music festivals and an online tool to
go along with them. Festival organisers are given customised advice and reiceve the prestigious
„Green‘n‘Clean Award“ by fulfilling the Yourope standards. So far, almost 40 Yourope members
from 14 countries have achieved the award.
– Green Operations Europe
Yourope is a main contributor and driving force of the GO Group (Green Operations Europe). It is an independent, pan-European and crossindustry think-tank to inspire people in the music festival and events industry to run their operations greener, smarter and more sustainable.
