Brazil Comes to VENUExVENUE -NATIONxNATION Music Export Launches on DIT

From online to the stage, NATIONxNATION and VENUExVENUE deliver real opportunities for indie artists. DIT announces the launch of NATIONxNATION Music Export, a year-round program connecting export-ready artists and industry with global markets.

The inaugural focus month spotlights BRAZIL throughout October and ties directly into VENUExVENUE ( NOV 6 -8 London, ON), where programmers from COMA Festival and Porão do Rock will be on the ground scouting Canadian artists for their 2026 lineups.

Brazilian artists TRAMPA and Imortal Joe will perform at VENUExVENUE, with additional Ontario dates during the festival period.

“Export is about preparation, timing, and trusted relationships,” said Darryl Hurs, Founder of DIT and Indie Week Inc. “NATIONxNATION brings decision-makers directly to artists in a structured way online—and then we connect those conversations to real-world scouting at VENUExVENUE and other showcase opportunities. We believe in making connections online to do business in person.”

BRAZIL AT VENUExVENUE — SCOUTING, SHOWCASES, REAL PATHWAYS

London, ON — VENUExVENUE NOV 6-8 is partnering with Brazil’s COMA Festival and Porão do Rock to open a direct lane between Canadian artists and one of the world’s most dynamic live markets.

Both festivals are sending programmers to actively scout Canadian talent for their 2026 editions—turning showcases into real booking opportunities and long-term market entry.

On stage, COMA Festival presents TRAMPA and Porão do Rock presents Imortal Joe—must-see anchor performances of this Canada–Brazil connection.

The international window doesn’t end with Brazil: bookers from South Africa and the United States will also be on site in London with the same mandate—find export-ready Canadian acts for 2026 stages.
