This Summer, we've partnered with IQ Magazine on a new report analyzing trends across European Music Festivals. The report covers analysis of lineup data, gender representation, and booking patterns across ~50 of the biggest European festivals of the Summer 2025 season.
Here is a breakdown of the top 10 agencies who booked the most artist in 2025 but no artists in 2024, as shown in the IQ x ROSTR EU Festivals Report.
⚠️ While effort was made to ensure the accuracy of which booking agencies were responsible for lineups across European festivals, discrepancies may exist due to unlisted clients, recent roster changes, or variations in how artists are affiliated with agencies. As a result, rankings should be considered a close approximation rather than an absolute measure.
