In this Inside the Industry edition of Loud & Unfiltered, we sits down with one of the most respected forces behind global club culture and festival programming: Jenni Cochrane. From selling tickets at Café Mambo, to programming the world’s biggest stages, to navigating political crises with EXIT Festival, Jenni’s 30-year journey in music is wild, unpredictable and packed with lessons for anyone building a career in nightlife, events or artist bookings.Jenni shares how she fell into the industry by accident, rose through the ranks in Ibiza during the late-90s hedonistic era, learned the craft at Renaissance and Ministry of Sound, booked global superstars long before they were household names, and eventually became the programmer for EXIT Festival’s mainstage - a bucket-list festival for artists around the world.This conversation goes deep into what the booking world really looks like: navigating agents, fee inflation, TikTok-driven breakout acts, political instability affecting festivals, and the pressure to build gender-balanced line-ups without compromising artistic or commercial integrity. Jenni also opens up about her wellbeing work through GetAhead, her experience working in Saudi Arabia with Middle Beast, and the evolving role of women in the global music industry.Subscribe to Loud&Unfiltered for more unfiltered conversations with music industry leaders, innovators, and cultural entrepreneurs and connect with us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jukeboxpr/Key Moments:
