Vegas Music Summit 2016: Annual Event In Downtown Las Vegas Announces Industry Panels & Artist Performances By AWOLNATION And More
The annual Vegas Music Summit is kicks-off on Feb 4- 5, 2016 with exciting industry panelists, talent showcases and a special performance by AWOLNATION at The Foundry/SLS Las Vegas.
- Las Vegas, NV-AZ (1888PressRelease) January 23, 2016 - Often compared to as an intimate version of "South By Southwest," Vegas Music Summit gives guests shoulder-to-shoulder access with industry executives, emerging artists and two days of invaluable networking. VMS has been the home of breakthrough performances by groups like Imagine Dragons, Saint Motel, Parade of Lights, Otherwise, and exciting appearances by top level artists. Many of the participating artists who performed at VMS garnered early industry attention, and in some cases secured record deals. Guests have left with insight that provided a springboard for next level industry opportunities.
The VMS industry panels will be held Thursday (2/4) and Friday (2/5) at the Downtown Grand, a new host hotel for the conference. Notable guest speakers include Stefano Langone (American Idol Season 10 finalist), producer Kevin Churko (Five Finger Death Punch, Ozzy Osbourne) and Steve Stewart (former Stone Temple Pilots manager.) Other panel speakers represent companies including Warner Bros. Records, Red Bull, Live Nation, Sony Music, Rockstar Games and T-Mobile. VMS speakers have worked with artists such as Beyonce, Katy Perry, Wiz Khalifa, Gwen Stefani, Roc Nation, Nas, Smashing Pumpkins, KISS, Imagine Dragons and more.
Music showcases will be held both nights and artists will be announced throughout the month via the official VMS website and Social Media. The Thursday February 4th showcase will include emerging artists Goldboot (Vegas), Brumby (Vegas) and Irontom (Los Angeles) and will be held in DTLV at Backstage Bar & Billiards. The Friday lineup will be posted shortly.
VMS is also honored to partner with Live Nation, SLS Las Vegas and their all-new venue The Foundry for a special performance on Friday (2/5) by multi-platinum act AWOLNATION. The performance marks the first for The Foundry, and VMS badge holders are granted access to this very special event.

About Vegas Music Summit:
Created by veteran industry professionals with deep relationships in the A&R and creative recording community, VMS floods Downtown Las Vegas for a 2-day/2night event, showcasing artists, industry professionals and entertainment education.
"This annual music business networking conference (think South by Southwest, but much smaller) offered strong programming both day and night, fulfilling its mission of giving independent artists the chance to perform for industry professionals as well as to interact with those same insiders during workshops and mixers.
Given that rare opportunity to connect with A&R reps, producers, promoters and bookers-at the end of the "A&R at the Majors" panel, reps from Virgin Records and Hollywood Records actually offered to listen to demo." - Vegas Seven Magazine
