Hideout presents BREAKOUT.

Launching July 9th at Dead Wax Courtyard, Digbeth, BREAKOUT is a new grassroots music showcase and creative networking platform built to connect artists, bands, producers, creatives and industry professionals under the same roof. Not just to showcase talent, but to help it grow.

Live performances. Industry talks from industry leaders. Creative exchange. A room full of people who care about what is happening here and want to see it progress.

The Midlands music scene is often overlooked, under-supported and some have even stated that it is ‘rapidly declining’.

But the talent never disappeared. There is unreal ambition and artistry across the Midlands that has been bubbling under the surface for years. What has been missing is the infrastructure around it.

We wanted to create a space for that pressure to break out.

This is about giving artists access to conversations, knowledge, collaborators and opportunities that are too often kept behind closed doors.

If you are a band, solo artist, producer, engineer, photographer, videographer, designer, promoter, manager, student, songwriter, rapper, poet, creative or simply care about music and creativity in your community, BREAKOUT is for you.

This isn’t another exclusionary scene. It is an event for real artistry, real collaboration and real community, which is why the event is FREE... because access matters.

So make sure you get a ticket and tell your friends.

BREAKOUT launches July 9th.

What’s it really like going from small local venues to international tours, huge festival stages and live TV?

@hideoutrecordsuk founded @breakouteventsuk to break down the barriers between emerging creatives and people working at the top of the music industry, cutting through industry gatekeeping and bringing those worlds closer together.

This year at @hockleyhustle we’re bringing a piece of that to our stage at @the___carousel with @onlynotts

For our second talk of the day, we’re joined by session musicians @duncangrantmusic and @ariannareddi to pull back the curtain on what life is really like behind some of the biggest live shows in the world.

Between them, they’ve performed with artists including Lola Young, Rita Ora, Anne-Marie, The Hunna, Cat Burns and Nina Nesbitt.

Whether you’re a musician, a live music obsessive, or you’ve ever stood in a crowd and wondered what’s happening behind the stage, this one’s for you.

Come down, ask questions and meet the people doing it.

What’s it really like creating for big names in music and beyond, when creativity comes with the pressure of being your job?

@hideoutrecordsuk founded @breakouteventsuk to break down the barriers between emerging creatives and people working at the top of the creative industries, cutting through industry gatekeeping and bringing those worlds closer together.

This year at @hockleyhustle we’re bringing a piece of that to our stage at @the___carousel with @onlynotts

For our first talk of the day, we’re joined by award winning creatives @morgantedd from @thealternativestudio and @lucyhollt from @pastedminddesign to talk about what happens when creativity meets the corporate world.

Between them, they’ve work with the likes of Nottingham Forest FC, The Clause, The Enemy, JAWS, Jaykae, The Twang, GIRLBAND! and Misery Signals.

Whether you make music, take photos, design, write, paint, make videos, or simply love seeing how creative work comes together, this one’s for you.

Come down, ask questions and meet the people doing it.
