London Calling: at the heart of the music industry
Now a firmly-established event on the music industry calendar, London Calling is an important annual forum for the global music industry. And London Calling works in partnership with media and associations from across the globe, creating a formidable team and marketing reach that spreads from the UK to the US, Asia and the Far East to Australia.

London Calling and Music Week: a new strategic alliance
The deal involving Music Week-parent company CMPi’s purchase of the owners and organisers of London Calling has created the opportunity for London Calling and Music Week to further develop their strategic alliance. This means increased involvement for Music Week in helping shape the event and its content as well as delivering even more advertising, promotion and editorial coverage for London Calling – online and in print - in the key international music industry title.

London Calling also works with in partnership a whole host of other vital international media including Five Eight, IQ Magazine, Mobile Music Now, Stream, Useryourears.com. Record Of The Day, Songlink, Audience, Musique Info, Musik Woche, Tillate, Music Network Australia, Musicians Atlas and Impact. The breadth, depth and international reach created for London Calling by its multitude of media partners means the event stays close to the key issues across its industry and delivers the promotional punch to help bring thousands of participants for all over the world to London (and London Calling) each and every June.
