Qobuz Teams with Rough Trade in Global Streaming Partnership

France headquartered streaming and download platform Qobuz has announced a global partnership with independent music retailer Rough Trade.

The details:

• The two-year partnership establishes Qobuz as the official streaming service of all Rough Trade stores worldwide through 2028.

• Qobuz will be integrated directly into the in-store experience across all Rough Trade locations in the US, UK and Germany.

• Qobuz and Rough Trade will collaborate on live in-store events, co-producing performances and programming hosted at Rough Trade locations.

• Music from the Qobuz download store will be available through the Rough Trade retail website.

• Rough Trade customers will receive special streaming deals, and Qobuz subscribers and employees will have access to discounts at Rough Trade stores.

What they said:

• Stephen Godfroy, co-owner of Rough Trade: “As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, there couldn’t be a more fitting partnership than expanding our artist-focused community into high-quality digital streaming with Qobuz – a likeminded independent platform that connects audiences and artists through deep curation, and champions emerging talent as passionately as established voices.”
