Today, idobi Radio Summer School — the brand new touring festival geared towards putting new music discovery at the forefront — has announced that Save the Music as their charity partner for the inaugural event this summer.

In the partnership, the festival will donate $0.50 of each ticket sold throughout the tour to Save the Music in support of their mission to help students, schools, and communities reach their full potential through the power of making music. For more information on Save The Music, head here.

Save The Music shares: “We are honored to team up with the Summer School tour to suport young creatives and build community through the power of music,” said Henry Donahue, Executive Director for Save The Music. “The critical funds raised from this tour will jumpstart much-needed music programs in public schools nationwide.”  

Microsoft is the Official Technology Partner of idobi Radio Summer School. The partnership will feature ways the tour uses Microsoft Copilot. “We are excited to partner with Summer School to showcase how Copilot can be used in a couple of different ways,” Amy Sorokas, Director Strategic Partnerships at Microsoft said. “Working with the artists to extend the Summer School creative world and engage with fans, alongside examples of the tour staff using Copilot to meet some very practical needs, made this a great way to show the breadth of what the technology can do.”

Additional partners for the festival include OneRPM, who is subsidizing ticket prices in order to help lower costs for fans, and Hot Topic, who is aiming to amplify the festival as well as support the artists involved throughout its vast marketing network and series of retail stores.

idobi Radio Summer School aims to provide emerging and developing bands a platform to be introduced to larger audiences across the country. The inaugural run features some of the most buzzed-about up-and-coming artists in the scene today: Stand Atlantic, Magnolia Park, The Home Team, Scene Queen, Honey Revenge, and Letdown. This group of artists – truly our next generation of headline acts – highlights the music, diversity of culture, inclusivity, and positivity of the community.
