MUSIC LIVE 2010

Clarion Events, the organiser of Music Live at the NEC, has announced its intention to postpone the 2010 event, due to take place between 4-7 November.

The company cites the congested MI Autumn 2010 show schedule as the primary reason for the decision. In addition it acknowledges that the continuing financial pressures faced by potential exhibitors will make it difficult to secure the level of 'top level' industry participation previously typically enjoyed by Music Live and its visitors.

Music Live Show Director Tiffany Pritchard confirmed that Clarion remains committed to the event, saying, "We are dedicated to the future development of Music Live, and to our intention of delivering an all encompassing music show projecting great innovation through music technology combined with a broadening of musical content. However, we have taken the view that 2010 will be not the right time to launch the new style Music Live on the scale it deserves. I'd like to thank exhibitors for their support for the UK's longest-running music-making event over the last ten years and look forward to unveiling our exciting plans for Music Live 2011 later in the year."
