2025 Taipei Music Expo Announces Global Music Professionals “Open Call”
The 2025 TAIPEI MUSIC EXPO (TMEX) has officially announced that its international open call for music professionals worldwide to join this year’s event from August 28 to 31 at the Taipei Music Center (TMC) is now open. TMEX is a key component of the 2025 TRENDY TAIPEI event series and seeks to foster regional cooperation and creative exchange in the Asia-Pacific region. With the theme “Tune in to Taiwan. Sync with Asia.”, TMEX 2025 aims to bring together record labels, artist management agencies, and industry leaders to establish connections and deepen ties across the Asia-Pacific music scene. As an alternative to the typical expo, TMEX provides a premier platform for industry professionals to network and collaborate on various programs designed to enhance regional unity.
This year’s TMEX program promises to be the most ambitious yet, with forums featuring influential voices in Asian music for panel discussions on innovation, strategies, and global trends in the industry. The agenda includes keynote speeches by notable figures in the music and media sectors. The TMEX Exhibition will showcase a wide array of record labels, music festivals, artist management agencies, and industry platforms from Taiwan, creating opportunities for collaboration and partnership. Additionally, TMEX has formed strategic alliances with prominent festivals and venues in countries like Thailand, Korea, and Japan to expand its international reach and connection.
A highlight of TMEX 2025 will be the TMEX Biz-Matching initiative, facilitating one-on-one networking between Taiwanese and international music professionals. While the first two days are reserved for industry insiders, the weekend program will be open to the public, featuring live performances and showcases. One of the most anticipated events is the JAM JAM ASIA showcase, which brings together breakthrough artists from across the Asia-Pacific region. This cutting-edge event promises to draw a diverse lineup of artists, including Yaeji, POTATO, ALI, Tanya Chua, and Lim Giong, among others. The vibrant musical lineup will feature acts across various genres, representing countries like Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines, affirming the region’s rich cultural diversity and artistic talent.
The emergence of Taiwanese talents like Sunset Rollercoaster, Flesh Juicer, and 9m88 will further solidify Taipei’s pivotal role as a creative hub in the Asia-Pacific music scene. With an ever-expanding list of over fifty artists scheduled to perform, JAM JAM ASIA will transform the surrounding plaza into a lively street party, enhancing the festival atmosphere. Now is the time for music enthusiasts to engage with the dynamic and evolving Asian music landscape, with TMEX and JAM JAM ASIA offering an unparalleled opportunity for immersion and appreciation.
