Is live music now too controversial for brands? Music PR gurus on PRWeek podcast

Esteemed entertainment PR figures Alan Edwards and Richard Dawes are the guests on this week’s Beyond the Noise podcast.


This week, PRWeek sits down with Alan Edwards, founder of Outside Organisation – who has handled PR for David Bowie, Prince, Michael Jackson and The Spice Girls – as well as Richard Dawes, managing director and co-founder of DawBell, who works with artists such as Oasis, Dua Lipa and Elton John.


Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen in the browser above or on your favourite platform.


Speaking to PRWeek UK editor-in-chief Danny Rogers and deputy news editor Evie Barrett, the duo discuss 2025’s live music boom – covering highlights such as the Oasis reunion tour and Glastonbury.


They weigh up the comms opportunities and risks of music festivals, discussing the plethora of crises that have hit the headlines in recent weeks, and give their take on whether controversy can be considered a positive opportunity from a PR perspective in the current climate.


Other topics discussed include the mounting pressure on musicians to take political and environmental stances, and how brands can authentically form partnerships with artists at live music events.
