Rockcomm Founder Seven Webster said "As a large amount of attendees are young artists it made sense for us to make sure we get an artists perspective on the business and have rock artists both asking panelists the questions as well as being involved in some of the panels too. This for me was an integral part of what we are trying to achieve as without the artists there is no business."

Rockcomms opening panel will see Danny Bowes (Thunder) & Arya Goggin (Skindred) hosting a special in depth look at rock PR with a number of leading rock music PR companies including Scream Promotions, US rock music PR company SKH Media (US), Duff Press, Work Hard PR & Noise Cartel.

Rockcomm London is also pleased to announce that as part of its live music coverage it will be hosting a special Festival Focus and Q&A on one of the biggest Metal and Rock Festivals in Europe Wacken Open Air Festival.Rockcomm will be asking its co founder and co-owner Thomas Jensen from ICS in a special Q&A as to how he has managed to grow and maintain one of the biggest and most successful rock & Metal festivals in Europe while also looking at its history from its conception to its current Sold Out status of over 80,000 attendees annually.
