Music & Events on BBC Three

• See all BBC Three briefs

Commissioner: Jan Younghusband

Overview

Music is the lifeblood of much of the 16-34 year old BBC THREE audience, and our festival coverage is absolutely key to becoming a channel "for them".

What's been working well gallery

Glastonbury continues to grow from strength to strength on BBC Three, across all platforms, reaching nearly 6 million enraptured viewers over the course of the festival.

Music & Events -  BBC Three - Event or format

BBC Three is the home of Glastonbury and other major festival coverage. Beyond this we are keen to find a new contemporary music format for the audience and there is also some limited need for provocative and ambitious events.

Where are the opportunities available? 

There are very limited opportunities in the WoCC in 12/13.

How should I submit my ideas and who should I pitch to?

All proposals should be submitted via the e-commissioning system to the relevant genre controller or commissioner. Take a look at the Who's Who for the latest music commissioning team contacts.
