Testimonials
“Fuse helped launch City Riots onto the international scene by opening up the UK market through the bands Great Escape performance and subsequent tour of the UK and US. The success of the bands performances at Fuse and Great Escape Festival has paved the way for the signing on with US based artist management company, The Underground Management”.
Ricky Krudolfer – City Riots
‘Fuse Festival provided Mere Theory with a unique opportunity to perform our music face to face with influential personnel from the industry, for Adelaide musicians it is a rare shot in the spotlight to make contact and have impact on such people.’
Nigel Black – Mere Theory
Sometimes it pays to be in the right place at the right time. With so many industry people from all over the world coming to Adelaide, Fuse is definitely the place to be.
Jeremy Wright – The Sundance Kids
“Fuse gave us great opportunity to play in front delegates from the country / international. It’s rare for Adelaide bands to get these kinds of opportunities and winning the competition to play The Great Escape (UK) provided us with even more opportunities to apply the skills we learnt at Fuse and make the most of our band. We learnt heaps about how to be a professional band, don’t know where we’d be without it.”
James Bartold – The Shiny Brights
“Fuse Festival brings together key global music industry professionals from around the globe… it can easily be compared with the bigger global conferences such as SXSW and Midem. I attended Fuse for the first time in 2008 and was impressed by the event as a whole and more specifically at the quality of acts performing.”
Martin Elbourne (Chief Booking Agent ‐ Glastonbury Music Festival)
“In the few years that I have been involved with Fuse I have seen it develop into one of the most important talent discovery events in Australasia. Fuse is constantly referenced in conferences that I attend across the globe and is recognized as an important stepping stone into the global market. From my perspective the main drivers behind this growth of the Fuse brand, seem to be a combination of the quality of the acts selected to play, the high quality of the international and local delegates plus the fantastic organization of the entire event. “
Mark Meharry (Music Glue)
“While this was my first time at the FUSE festival, the experience was not unlike a scaled version of CMJ’s annual event, CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival, in New York City, organized to build in‐person relationships with music industry representatives from across the globe… FUSE ties together the area’s great music assets and offers the best new musicians an unparalleled opportunity to take advantage of the global stage”
