ROCKBOX USA
Connecting brands with live music audiences
Rockbox USA was born from a simple
but powerful idea
Live music deserves a bigger stage, and so do the brands that fuel it. Founded in the UK in 1994 by Paul Carr, RockBox started as a bold vision: building a cutting-edge digital out-of-home network that connects brands with real music fans in legendary live venues. And it worked.
Across the UK, RockBox became a key player in the music scene, putting brands in front of the most passionate, engaged audiences.
But for Paul, the dream was always bigger. He wanted to crack America - the home of rock & roll, hip-hop, punk, jazz, and every genre that shaped modern music. A place where music culture isn’t just alive… it’s in the DNA.
The UK and the US share a deep, unshakable love for live music, from the stadium anthems to the underground scenes, and RockBox USA was built to tap into that energy.
With a network of screens across the best independent music venues in the USA, RockBox USA is turning that dream into reality. We’re amplifying brands in the spaces where music matters most, and where fans aren’t just listening, they’re feeling every note.
Whether it’s a sweaty, packed-out club or a historic venue that’s seen legends rise, our screens ensure brands aren’t just seen—they’re part of the experience.
Live music is raw, real, and unforgettable. So is RockBox USA. Ready to go live? Let’s make some noise.

Where brands go
louder, bolder & wilder!
At Rockbox USA, we don’t just show up—we show out. And when it comes to supporting the heart and soul of live music, we’ve partnered with Marauder, a founding member of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA), to connect with the independent venue community across the United States.
This partnership is about more than just the screen network - it’s about fueling the culture that keeps independent venues alive and thriving.
With Marauder’s expertise in connecting music and brand communities, our shared values with NIVA’s mission to protect and uplift independent venues, and our cutting-edge digital out-of-home network, we’re turning every venue into a stage not just for artists, but for brands that want to be part of the experience.
Together, we’re creating high-impact, real-world connections where music lovers actually live: in the front row, at the bar, on the floor, and in the moment. These are the places where brands don’t just advertise; they become part of the show.
This isn’t just business, it’s a movement. A commitment to keeping independent music loud, live, and legendary. And with Rockbox USA and Marauder in the mix, the future of live music has never looked or sounded better
We believe brands
belong in live music
Live music isn’t just entertainment - it’s an experience. It’s where passion ignites, emotions run high, and unforgettable moments are made. For brands, there’s no better place to connect with an audience that’s fully engaged, energized, and ready to connect.
At RockBox USA, we bring brands into the heart of live music culture, placing them in legendary venues where the experience is raw, real, and immersive. Here’s why tapping into the live music audience is a game-changer for brands:
Unmatched Audience Engagement
Live music fans show up, stay present, and connect deeply with the moment. Unlike digital ads that can be skipped or ignored, your brand is embedded in an environment where attention is real and undivided.
Authentic Brand Integration
Music fans aren’t just spectators - they’re part of the culture. By aligning with live music venues, brands become an organic part of the experience, creating genuine connections that feel natural, not forced.
High-Energy, Emotionally Charged Environments
Music triggers emotions, and emotions drive action. Whether it’s the adrenaline rush of a rock concert or the intimate atmosphere of an acoustic set, brands that integrate into these moments become part of the memory.
Access to a Trend-Setting, Loyal Demographic
Live music fans are culturally influential, shaping trends across fashion, tech, lifestyle, and more. They’re also fiercely loyal, making this an opportunity for brands to build lasting relationships with high-value consumers.
Multi-Touchpoint Visibility
With screens across the best independent venues, Rockbox USA ensures your brand is seen before the show, at the bar, in the crowd, and during key moments of the night—reinforcing your presence across multiple touchpoints.
Exclusive Access to Independent Music Culture
By partnering with Rockbox USA, brands don’t just advertise—they become a champion of independent music. Our partnership with Marauder means you’re supporting the venues that keep live music alive, making your brand part of something bigger.
