EU-Music Days (European Urban Music Days) is an initiative to bring together actors to create fruitful meetings and collective attempts to find new ways of overcoming the difficulties urban artists and the music industry face today. The platform is a meeting-place for different actors working with urban music and urban culture.

The first EU-Music Days took place in Stockholm on July 1 2009 and gathered artists and music professionals from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Latvia, France, Germany, UK, Belgium, Portugal, Czech Republic Switzerland and Cyprus for shows, conferences, workshops and the European urban film festival. The next EU-Music Days will take place in Paris, France in 2010.

EU-Music stands for European Urban Music. Urban music is a term for popular music deriving from urban areas, such as hip hop, R&B, soul, reggae, electro, dance, club and urban pop.
