BBC Introducing will run its Introducing LIVE event series across ten UK locations throughout November. The schedule includes dates in Belfast, Bridgend, Gateshead, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham, and Sunderland. The program consists of live performances, immersive workshops, educational panels, and networking sessions for musicians, DJs, and music creators.
Specific activations include four gigs in Leeds and a songwriting camp in Manchester. In Sunderland, BBC Introducing will host a takeover at The Fire Station featuring open mics, an industry feedback centre, and various workshops. In Bridgend, the broadcaster is partnering with Horizons/Gorwelion and Beacons Cymru to present The Sound Bridge. This event takes place at the Luna Lounge and Black Cat venues in partnership with Bridgend College and features The Bug Club, Alffa, and Chroma. London events are scheduled for Thursday 5 November and Thursday 12 November at The Lower Third.
Kelly Betts, Editor of BBC Introducing, confirmed the November return of the events. The broader BBC Introducing operation utilizes the BBC Introducing Uploader to support unsigned artists. This infrastructure currently comprises 23 local radio shows and six national shows airing weekly on Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2, 6 Music, Asian Network, and Radio 3.
The organization expanded its operations to the United States in December 2025 through partnerships with college radio stations in Tennessee. Previous artists supported by the platform include Ed Sheeran, Raye, Olivia Dean, Sam Fender, and Loyle Carner. The BBC Introducing network operates across the BBC's national and local radio portfolio.
