MW:M24 was a blast! We'll be back 11-13 Nov 2025 - Save the date!

OUR Mission

MOST WANTED: MUSIC is an innovative festival for music economies and cultures which takes place in Berlin.

Music is our first love. Business is our catalyst. Sustainability is our ethos.

In 2023 MW:M’s motto was Humanize! – a call to action to place people at the centre of everything that the music industry does. In 2024, those people had disruptive technologies and novel tactics to create and grow as never before… and prosper in a way they deserve. So we said: Monetize! MW:M24 explored how an industry posting record profits can become kinder, fairer, cleaner, more efficient, and more inventive – whilst ensuring that everyone makes money.

MW:M24 took place from 12th – 14th of November at Kulturbrauerei in Berlin. The programme included interactive talks, interviews and workshops with experts and artists from all over the world, experimental networking formats and live performances.
