Important information
*If selected, artists will be notified before 1st February 2026. Please note, they do receive circa 6,000 artist applications each year, and with only a small core festival team it’s not possible for them to get back to every applicant. If you have not heard from them by 1st February then it’s unlikely they will have a showcase slot for you on this occasion. They will however hold your details on file up until the dates of the festival in-case a suitable slot does open up.
*FOCUS Wales DOES NOT accept applications from cover bands or tribute acts.
**Please do let them know if you have any needs around access. The festival is there for everyone. You can email info@focuswales.com to discuss this.
Don’t be shy, apply!
