8th September 2026 – 23rd March 2027
Young Producers is a group for 15-21s who would like to develop their skills and experience in the music and events sector with guidance from industry experts.
Each week, you’ll meet with others as a group and take steps to plan a live event that YOU want to see.
You’ll get advice from specialists in the field, including marketers, technicians, and event organisers, on what it takes to make an event at Middlesbrough Town Hall a success.
This year, we’re running our Young Producers in partnership with Tees Music Alliance, and the event will take place at The Georgian Theatre, Stockton in March 2027.
In the past, Young Producers have coordinated and produced live music events such as Town Hall Takeover and Boro Sounds, where up-and-coming local bands, DJs and performers were invited to take to the stage or compete in Battle of the Bands.
Young Producers will gain skills in:
- Event planning
- Tech and stage management
- Marketing
- Budget management
- Artist management
You will have:
- The opportunity to collaboratively programme a live event
- Access to a budget for project costs
- Ongoing support from the teams at Musinc and The Georgian Theatre
- Access to a network of industry professionals and peers
- Careers support
How to join
You can book a free place on the Middlesbrough Town Hall website. For more information, please contact us on musinc@middlesbrough.gov.uk.
