Blackstar Amplification is proud to announce a new partnership with Rock and Metal Alliance, an organisation dedicated to championing emerging heavy artists and helping them access opportunities within the global music industry.
Through the partnership, Blackstar will provide full amplifier backline support across Rock and Metal Alliance events and showcases, helping give rising artists access to professional-grade gear on some of the scene’s most important stages.
Rock and Metal Alliance work with showcase events across the world including SXSW, The Alternative Escape, Pro Weekend Valencia and many more, creating opportunities for developing artists who are ready to take the next step in their careers but may not yet have the industry network or connections to open those doors themselves.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment between both organisations to support the future of rock and metal music by investing directly into emerging talent and grassroots music culture.
“Rock and metal has always been built on community, discovery and passion,” said James Evans / Senior Product Category Manager at Blackstar Amps. “Rock and Metal Alliance are doing incredible work creating real opportunities for up-and-coming artists, and we’re proud to support that by helping provide the backline and tools these bands need to perform at their best.”
By supporting showcase events internationally, Blackstar and Rock and Metal Alliance aim to help more developing artists connect with audiences, industry professionals and future career opportunities.
As part of the collaboration, Blackstar gear will feature across upcoming Rock and Metal Alliance showcases throughout 2026 and beyond.
