Questions DJs ask

How do I apply to festivals as a DJ?

Press Apply now next to a festival. You give your act name, email, genre, home city and one to three links to your music; we email you a link to confirm, then send your application to the organiser with your EPK.

Is it free to apply?

Your first festival application is free on the Free plan. Paid plans add more applications: Basic (£10/month) and Pro (£24/month). New artist and DJ accounts get a 14-day Pro trial with no card needed.

When do 2027 festival open calls open?

Most 2027 festivals open DJ and artist applications between autumn 2026 and spring 2027, and many close two to four months before the event. New calls are added here as soon as StageOS finds them.
