Music Manager

Music Manager is a detailed simulation game about building careers in the music industry from 1952 to 2026, covering the history of modern popular music. Start in any year during that period and work across a global music scene, with playable locations across every inhabited continent.

Scout talent, negotiate contracts, book gigs, send acts on tour, play festivals, record songs, release music, handle publicity and guide your artists through changing trends, shifting tastes and fierce competition. Some acts will need patience. Others may be ready to move quickly. The challenge is deciding where to spend your time, money and attention in an industry that never stands still.

As your career progresses, achievements can unlock support staff who take over parts of the business, letting you focus more on the areas you enjoy most.

If you enjoy management games built around systems, long-term planning and shaping your own story over time, Music Manager puts you in control of the decisions behind the music.
