EBBA
The European Border Breakers Awards are about breaking down borders and recognising emerging
European rock, pop and dance artists who achieved success in other countries than their own. To do
this, 10 European artists will receive an EBBA during a spectacular TV-show presented by BBC-legend
Jools Holland. The show, recorded at Stadsschouwburg Groningen and broadcast throughout Europe, is
organised in the context of Eurosonic Noorderslag, on the opening evening of Europe’s biggest live
music industry gathering of the year.

These unique European music awards are funded under the European Union (EU) Creative Europe
programme. With the EBBA, the European Union wishes to highlight the success of 10 debuting

opportunity for the public to discover emerging European artists, and for their music to be spread and
enjoyed across Europe.
