Northern Beaches Music Festival Heading

Info for Performers

Performance Opportunities

We expect funds raised from grants, sponsors and crowdfunding together with ticket income will enable us to not only pay for the festival infrastructure (insurance, promotion, staging etc.) but also pay for a limited number of performance slots on our three stages. During the remaining times we offer opportunities for artists to perform on the same stages and receive funds directly via our Busking Buckets.

All successful applicants (including those performing on the busking stages) will be accredited in the program and on the web site.

Availability

The Festival is expected to run from Friday 7pm till 9.30pm Sunday night, and selected acts are, as a rule, expected to be available for the entire Festival.

Sound Checks

As with most Festivals, it is not possible to do an extensive sound check. Line checks will take place and then our experienced sound crews will do the rest.

Promotion

We ask you to use your photos and music to promote yourself and the festival.

Your fee

Our funding model guarantees a payment of $100-$200 for singles and duos and up to $600 per band for the paid performances.

Changes

We ask that you keep up to date with changes to information provided. As we are a relatively new festival there are kinks that may need straightening out.

Application Form

Applications are now open until the end of August.  Applicants should hear back from us by the end of September at the latest. Fill in the application form here.
