“Echosmith is blessed not only with on-stage charisma and more hooks than a tackle box, but also an extremely knowledgeable and experienced team behind them,” said Waddell. “This session is always about the industry’s next arena-level headliners and I very much look forward to discussing this band’s career moves and what’s coming next with Team Echosmith.”
Echosmith broke out in 2013 with their debut album Talking Dreams, which peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 at hit No. 13 on the Hot 100 chart with the double platinum song “Cool Kids.” Since, they have performed on Ellen, Late Night with Seth Meyers and the American Idol finale, with new single “Bright” reaching No. 40 on the Hot 100. They will support Twenty One Pilots’ U.S. tour this fall.
The 2015 Billboard Touring Conference & Awards will take place Nov. 18-19 at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York.
