We love celebrating new talent and our home Milton Keynes. So we’re combining them. Marshall Live is our way of helping you enjoy discovering the best new bands.

What we’re doing is throwing the biggest Marshall party at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, to show that guitar music is stronger than ever. That’s 18 of the best breakthrough bands for just £30 including fees (£20 for 14-17 year olds).

In just 6 months Americans streamed 403 billion songs, which is a 50% increase on just two years ago. In fact, streaming accounted for three times as much music consumption as album sales and track sales combined. There’s no doubt that in the modern age streaming is big biz.

But how exactly do you get your music onto streaming services and then how do you get more listeners and eventually monetise your music?
