Scotland's award-winning music convention, Wide Days, returns to Edinburgh on 22-23 April 2016.

Following the success of the new format trialed in 2015, the conference and first three showcases will take place in the Pleasance venue on Friday. The Saturday - open to all professional ticket holders - will focus on networking activities, including a guided coach tour, a special Ted-style talk, BBQ and low-exertion sports.

Early-bird passes will be available at a discounted rate of £65 and rise to £80 on 15 January 2016. Moreover, a limited number of one-day passes for Friday’s events are available for students, emerging musicians and individuals starting out in the business, for £25. An under 18s ticket costs £18 and covers the conference and first three showcases.
