some of you may have wondered what happened to the ANCHOR – Reeperbahn Festival International Music Award. Usually, the team of prestigious ANCHOR Judges around infamous producer Tony Visconti is announced in June already, but as this year comes with quite a few changes and challenges we had to come up with a new plan. This is why we decided to announce both, ANCHOR 2020 Jury and Nominees, together for the first time as part of Reeperbahn Festival International - On-Site And Online yesterday from Berlin.
And the best part was: you were all invited!
Via livestream, everybody could be with us in Berlin when host Hadnet Tesfai introduced our ANCHOR 2020 Judges Brody Dalle, Darcy Proper, Markus Kavka, Melanie C, Frank Dellé and of course Jury president Tony Visconti and the final six Nominees for the contest in Hamburg in September!
And that’s not all, after the formal introduction of our judges we added some political spice to the round when Hamburgs Minister of Culture and Media Carsten Brosda and President of the Music Business Association Dr. Portia Sabin joined in to have a chat about the importance of culture, particularly music, in eventful times.
Did you miss the stream? No worries we got it all right here for you.
