APPLY TO PERFORM AT THE 2026 FESTIVAL
All applicants must submit a 2026 Artist Expression of Interest (EOI) Form (open from Fri 16 Jan 2026, closing Mon 16 March 2026) to be considered for the festival. If you have submitted a previous version of this form (prior to the 16 Jan 2026), your application will not have been recieved, and will not be considered.
ARTIST MERCHANDISE – The festival does not currently have the capacity to sell artist merchandise on behalf of artists.
ARTIST FEES – If your application is successful, artist fees are discussed with consideration of our programming budget. Please remember we are a non-for-profit festival run by an almost entirely un-paid team. Looking after our artists is a priority, and rest assured we do our best to make sure all are supported within the scope of our budget.
