STIM schedule for 2025
Take a look on important STIM dates and activities during the year for our music creators and publishers. The primary focus is on royalty distributions, registering music works and reporting set-lists.
We have eight large payments in a year. Four are quarterly and cover many music sources, such as live music, radio and TV plays, and background music. The other four distributions cover digital music services licensed by our partner ICE Services.
