Concerts, exhibitions and event venues

Does your business play music or TV?

What if I want to play music throughout the whole exhibition?

Do you play music in any other ways?

For PPL licensing enquiries, contact our customer services team.

PPL collects royalties on behalf of performers and record companies, while PRS for Music collects royalties on behalf of songwriters, composers and publishers. When a business plays recorded music in public, in most instances a licence from both organisations is legally required.

By switching on music you can attract more footfall, motivate your staff and encourage your customers to spend more.
