Tender description

The Council is looking to form a collaborative 3 year relationship with a promoter to deliver a high quality music event on Plymouth Hoe starting in 2019. Our vision is to create a significant, high profile ticketed music event or series of events with UK and international artists that will create national and international exposure.

The promoter will invest in and provide the talent, ticketing and marketing of the event.
