Gala Music, a pioneering web3 music platform focused on empowering artists and their fans, is teaming up with OnesToWatch, Live Nation’s music discovery platform. Following a successful collaboration with Catbird Music Festival, where two rising artists were selected to perform onstage, this expanded partnership with OnesToWatch now offers more emerging artists opportunities on major festival stages. Fans can now vote for the emerging artists they want to see perform at highly-anticipated festivals, including Music Midtown in Atlanta, GA, and Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City, MD.
When asked about the partnership, Sarah Buxton, CEO of Gala Music, said, “We are proud to grow our partnership with OnesToWatch to give even more artists the opportunity to share their talent on such a platform and fans the chance to actively contribute to shaping festival lineups. Through web3 technology, we pair music discovery with fan influence and artist empowerment to give everyone a more rewarding and enjoyable experience.”
When asked about the partnership, Dave O’Connor, Founder of OnesToWatch, said, “Knowing how hard it is to find opportunities for live performances and great direct-to-consumer tools to build an audience, we are super excited to partner with Gala Music to offer emerging artists both.”
