Tallinn Music Week (TMW) is an annual music, creativity, and urban culture festival in Tallinn, held every year since 2009. It combines several major elements:
<ul>
<li>Music Festival — concerts and performances in various clubs and concert venues</li>
<li>Conference — panels, presentations, and networking related to creative industries and the music business</li>
<li>City Festival — free public concerts, art, discussions, and enjoying urban life</li>
</ul>
TMW brings together performers from across Europe and beyond, often featuring acts that cannot be heard elsewhere. Around 175 artists from around the world perform at the capital's best concert venues and clubs, with a music selection ranging from experimental sounds to pop, dance music to metal, and folk to post-classical.
The festival brings to life different areas of Tallinn — from the Old Town to Telliskivi Creative City and Noblessner Harbor — transforming the entire city into a performance venue.
