UK-based promoters Rockfeedback, One Inch Badge and Kilimanjaro have entered into a new partnership and joint venture, called FORM, described as an alternative independent promoter offering in the UK.
FORM will encompass all events from London music stalwarts Rockfeedback and Brighton-based multi-disciplinary events company One Inch Badge, bringing together a group of music and culture fans that produce and stage in excess of 600 shows every year across the UK.
Rockfeedback and One Inch Badge will continue in their key markets of London and Brighton, with events outside of these cities to be presented as FORM Presents.
Kilimanjaro joins as a third partner of FORM, assisting on the infrastructure side and administratively.
FORM will build upon its current diverse live roster that includes artists such as Flume, Father John Misty, The War on Drugs, Kate Tempest, Freya Ridings, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Bonobo, Big Thief, Johnny Flynn, Fontaines DC, Future Islands, Mø, Marika Hackman, Dream Wife, Kurt Vile, SOPHIE, and many more.
The new venture will also build upon the two companies’ touring arts and culture events portfolio – a growth area in non-music events that RFB and OIB have collaborated on together for some time.
Previous tours and promotions include book launches and comedy events for the likes of Akala, Beastie Boys, Neil Tennant, Kim Gordon, Eric Andre, James Acaster, plus podcast and TV “in conversation” events from Jon Ronson, Narcos, Making a Murderer, Welcome to Nightvale, and others.
FORM will additionally provide bespoke white label services for a select roster of brand clients.
With over a decade of experience in this sector, previous clients of the executive team involved in FORM include Spotify, Google, Amazon, Xbox, Sailor Jerry, BT, Disaronno, The Guardian and many more.
