Concerts are held as part of the festival in various venues such as churches, museums, clothing stores, rooftops and of course music clubs. This unique mix in the picturesque atmosphere of Nuremberg's old town is what makes it so special. The accompanying pop conference offers a wide range of topics related to the music industry and cultural aspects. Nuremberg Pop 2018 joined Keychange, a movement
that supports talented, underrepresented genders with training, mentoring and network support, as well as conferences and presentation opportunities at partner festivals. Nuremberg Pop was awarded the Bavarian Pop Culture Prize in the “Festivals” category in 2019 and nominated several times for the European Music Awards in the categories “Best Small Festival” and “Best Indoor Festival”. Since 2020 Nuremberg Pop has been the German partner festival of the INES Showcase Festival Network, in which 20 European showcase festivals have come together to present young musical talents on their stage and support them to gain a foothold in Europe outside their home country.
