If you’re looking to get yourself on a festival line-up in 2024, then now is the time to act.
Many UK and international festivals are open to artist submissions, which, for the most part, you can do for free — though do be aware that some events require you to pay a fee in order to be considered. Make sure to read each festival’s submission criteria carefully when you do your research.
If you receive an invitation to play at an international showcase, you can apply for funding through PRS Foundation’s International Showcase Fund.
If the festival you represent isn't yet included in the below guide, please get in touch via our social media channels @PRSForMusic and let us know.
We hope to see you playing on a festival stage next summer — good luck!
