Sarah Pagel – Founder, Festival Abroad

Founded by

Sarah Pagel

Sarah built her career applying rigorous analytical frameworks inside some of the world's largest corporations – and spent every weekend she could at music events. Festival Abroad is the deliberate convergence of both: the analytical discipline of a data strategist applied to an industry she's been embedded in for years.

Since launching in 2025, Festival Abroad has grown into a global media and data company – 3,170+ festivals catalogued across 92 countries, a search audience actively planning festival travel, and a proprietary dataset covering artist touring patterns, genre saturation by market, and audience demand by territory.

Sarah works directly with a select number of promoters each year, as a strategic partner who brings the data house, the media reach, and the industry relationships to bear on a single question: how do you grow?

How to read this

Mature markets – high competition

UK, Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands have the highest density of events. Established relationships dominate – positioning and differentiation matter more than availability.

Growth markets – lower barriers

The Balkans, Eastern Europe, and Iberia are growing fast. International audiences are arriving, infrastructure is improving, and first-mover advantages are still available.

Emerging markets – early signals

Southeast Asia, Latin America, and North Africa are showing early demand signals. Thin competition, receptive audiences, and significant upside for promoters who move early.

Genre positioning

Map any artist's genre footprint across 48 genre categories. See exactly which festival markets they're credentialed in – and which adjacent markets they haven't touched yet.

Competitive landscape

See which artists consistently share stages. Understand tier dynamics, comparable acts, and who's defining each market segment – before you finalise a lineup.

Routing intelligence

Identify which territories an artist has built profile in and which markets are still open. Useful for planning tour routing, spotting first-mover opportunities, and avoiding oversaturation.

Artist due diligence

Cross-referenced Spotify popularity, RA profile, social presence, and full festival history – everything you need to validate an act's market position before committing to a booking.

What your promotion reaches

Spread across Europe and English-speaking markets

No single country dominates – the top markets each hold a similar share. Your festival gets in front of audiences in the same geographies that already buy tickets internationally.

In planning mode, not passive scrolling

People visit Festival Abroad while actively deciding where to go this season – searching by genre, country, and date. When your festival appears, it's landing in front of someone ready to book.

Reach across the long tail too

Beyond the top markets, visitors arrive from across Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe – a self-selected audience of people who travel for music, wherever they're based.

Know where your audience is. Ready to reach them?

What we offer

More than a publisher.
An ecosystem and community.

We have what most brands want and rarely find: a genuine, search-driven audience of hundreds of thousands of people actively planning their next festival. Working with us means working inside this community – not advertising at it from the outside.

01
Organic reach & discovery

Your festival, in front of people who are already searching for one. We rank for thousands of festival-related search terms and drive a large organic audience every month – people actively planning where to go. A listing with us is a marketing channel that works while you sleep, with no ad spend required.

02
Proprietary data intelligence

No booking agent or promoter has access to what we've built – artist touring patterns across 3,000+ festivals, genre market saturation, audience search behaviour by country. We can tell you which artists fit your market, which markets have the most demand, and where the gaps are. And we build the tools to act on it: custom dashboards, bespoke data integrations, purpose-built features.

03
Content, SEO & growth systems

Search is no longer just keywords – it's AI overviews, semantic intent, and content ecosystems that compound over time. We understand how modern discovery actually works and build strategies around it: SEO architecture, AI-assisted content production, automated publishing pipelines, and the systems that keep everything moving without constant manual input. The result is organic growth that scales without scaling headcount.
