All territory launches involve setup fees and an increase in monthly charges for access to the 7digital platform.

Contract win

7digital has signed a contract with Powerchord Ltd whose PEEX brand (www.peex.live) will offer to improve the live music experience, allowing concert-goers to experience enhanced audio both during performances and to download tracks from concerts after the performance. 

7digital has signed a 3-year deal with PEEX to provide technology and reporting services for the platform. PEEX will be launching soon in the UK, US and Europe, with the free PEEX app and downloads of iconic live shows available from an A-list artist, while the PEEX wearable technology will go on pre-sale later this summer.
