Music Licensing in Europe: One Continent, 27 Rulebooks (2026 Business Guide)

There is no EU-wide music licence for venues. A business with sites in five EU countries needs five national licences from up to ten collecting societies — from GEMA in Germany to SACEM in France. Here's what each major market charges and the one route that works everywhere. VibeBeats is direct-licensed background music for cafés, restaurants, bars, gyms, retail stores, salons, spas, clinics and hotels. One subscription covers commercial use of the VibeBeats catalogue, so there is no separate PRO invoice from OneMusic, APRA AMCOS, PPCA, ASCAP, BMI, PRS or SOCAN for the music we supply, and the AI DJ reshapes each playlist through the trading day.
