MUSICNext: AI & the Music Industry Returns on December 15, 2025

Following a sold-out congress in 2024, the moment has arrived: MUSICNext: AI & the Music Industry is back. The new edition will take place on December 15, 2025 at TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht.

Exploring the Future Together

MUSICNext brings together music creators, composers, music publishers, and the industry to discuss the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence in music. In 2024, themes such as copyright, creative control, and the practical application of AI took center stage. Experts like Don Diablo and Reinier Zonneveld shared their vision of AI as a creative partner, provided artists remain in control.

With interactive workshops, inspiring speakers, and a dynamic program full of reflection and dialogue, the first edition proved there is a need for a platform where the music industry can speak openly and constructively about AI.

Connecting and Informing

The 2025 edition builds on this foundation. Expect another day full of insights, hands-on sessions, and above all: the space to think together about how we as a sector can deploy artificial intelligence without losing sight of the authenticity and ownership of creators.

More information about the program and speakers will follow soon via www.musicnext.nl.

“We must keep looking at the possibilities, how AI makes our profession more interesting, better, and more enjoyable,” said Reinier.
