Below you can find the EuroSonic Noorderslag 2009 conference program. For an overview per day or location, you can check out the timetable.
Aspiring superstar band The Hypotheticals was introduced to EuroSonic Noorderslag delegates in 2006 - three years on, a long time in today's fast moving business, and after many highs and lows, with record and touring success in various territories, our favourite imaginary act have had to deal with many problems; musical differences, personal squabbles etc, all of which led to a split (not to mention rehab!).You're shocked I know, but don't despair! With a new line-up they're back, with new deals and a positive attitude they are setting up a new tour, with new product to promote! The band's new dedicated, experienced and highly professional team represented by a real-life Manager, Agent, Record Company, Concert Promoter and Financial Advisor will take to the conference platform to re-launch The New Hypotheticals on their journey to the dizzying heights of stardom which their talent so richly deserves!
