iConcerts to air Marley and Hendrix following Universal deal

Music channel iConcerts has signed a deal with Universal Music France that will bring programmes featuring artists including Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, Nelly Furtado and Oasis to the France-based network.

The iConcerts HD channel offers video coverage of popular and classical music concerts to over 80 countries. The deal with Universal will see iConcerts airing footage of Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix concerts, amongst other artists.

“Thus far, iConcerts has worked closely with artists and concert producers, but this deal marks the first time we have collaborated with a major music label – a logical and exciting step in the development of our brand,” said Natalia Tsarkova, iConcerts founder and CEO.
