The Music Cities Network (MCN) is a global, independent non-profit association committed to strengthening music ecosystems through international collaboration and local empowerment.

We connect music cities and their stakeholders - policymakers, city strategists, artists, and industry professionals across borders - to exchange knowledge, co-create solutions, and foster resilient, inclusive, and future-ready music environments.

Rooted in a holistic and action-oriented approach, MCN supports cities in harnessing the power of music to drive cultural, social, and economic development.

Our network is growing and open. We welcome all music cities ready to engage, collaborate, and lead meaningful change in their communities and beyond.

The network is happy to count the following members currently: Aarhus (DK), Bergen (NO), Berlin (DE), Brussels (BE), Düsseldorf (DE), Gothenburg (SE), Groningen (NL), Hamburg (DE), Manchester (UK), Reykjavik (IS), Sydney (AU), Valencia (ES), Vilnius (LT), and Sunderland (UK).
