We are also welcoming singer-songwriter Arlo Parks, INIKO, ANCHOR Winner 2022 Cassia, German-Iranian stand-up artists and activist Enissa Amani, singer and songwriter AY Young as well as multi-award-winning climate activist Mari Copeny. Our ANCHOR Jury of BANKS, Tayla Parx, Katie Melua and Tony Visconti, will introduce the six nominated bands and artists of this year's ANCHOR Award. The opening show is presented by Hadnet Tesfai. One big question floating in the air at this year's event is: What’s next? How does the future of the music industry look, and how can we shape it in a healthy and sustainable way? The music industry is not alone in facing this task – most other sectors of the economy are affected. As a result, multiple challenges like attracting young talent, generational change, mental health, rapidly advancing technological development and social ecological responsibility and sustainability have preoccupied society as a whole for quite some time.
