That’s a wrap on the European Emerging Bands Contest 2025!

Strasbourg was buzzing on June 13–14 as the European Emerging Bands Contest 2025 (#EEBC2025) took center stage at the European Youth Event (#EYE2025) — and what a show it was!

Eight rising bands from across Europe delivered unforgettable performances, each one bursting with powerful vocals, genre-blending sounds, and unstoppable energy. From high-octane rock sets to intimate indie moments, the EEBC2025 stage was a true celebration of Europe's next musical generation.

But the spotlight didn’t stop at the stage. Our winning artists also stepped into workshops designed to fuel their creative and professional growth. Together, they explored:

• Music and activism: using their platform to drive social change

• Creative digital storytelling: standing out in a crowded digital world

• Sustainable music careers: navigating the modern music industry with purpose and resilience

A huge thank-you to our brilliant speakers — Juan Aguilar, Sam Rise, Adela Valverde, Ricardo van Mildert, and Evan Gonzales — for leading inspiring, thought-provoking sessions. Your insight helped make this experience unforgettable.

🔥 And to our bands: you absolutely smashed it!
