Musical trends that will mark next year

The world of music is constantly evolving, and every year new ways of creating, sharing and experiencing sound art emerge. For promoters, artists and the public, anticipating trends is key to being in tune with what is coming. At CB Management we analyze the movements that will shape the music scene in the coming months.

One of the big trends is The rise of hybrid genres. More and more artists are merging styles that previously seemed incompatible: flamenco with electronic, rap with jazz, pop with folk. This fusion not only breaks down sound barriers, but also public barriers, opening up new niches and experiences.

We will also see growth in intimate and exclusive formats. After the boom in large festivals, the public increasingly values concerts in small venues, secret acoustics or experiences in unconventional places that generate a more personal connection with the artist.

The use of immersive technology will be consolidated. Visual mapping, reactive lighting, augmented reality and synchronization with mobile apps will enrich the live experience. The concerts will no longer be just auditory to become complete sensory shows.

On the digital level, the consumption of content in short format and behind the scenes. Fans want to see how artists practice, how they travel, how they produce their songs. Social media will continue to be essential, but the approach will be more humane and less publicized.

La sustainability at events it will also take center stage. From modular reusable scenarios to zero waste policies, the public —especially the youngest— increasingly values and demands a real commitment to the environment on the part of promoters and artists.

Another clear trend is the The role of local and independent music. With the rise of direct distribution platforms and access to quality home studios, emerging artists are more empowered than ever and occupy important places on posters and festivals.

At CB Management we are already working in line with these trends. We are committed to artists that innovate, formats that surprise and management that listens to the public. The future of live music is more alive than ever, and we're ready to keep making it sound.
