Performers Grab the Spotlight

Performing Info

Would you like to take part in our upcoming festival?

Tell us what you do... Music, Dance, Movement, Poetry, Spoken Word, Re-enactment, Talks, Theatrical Drama or something else?

At Radiate Festival we run an Open Platform Stage which is a people-led programme. This means that if you have something amazing to share and want to take a slot in the spotlight, we welcome you to submit your request.

We have both seasoned pros and also newbies who join us so don't think this isn't for you too! If you're a local established act who would just love to support one of our festivals or if you are simply wanting a bit more stage experience to perform in public, please fill in your details below.

Since 2018, our festivals and events have been run by volunteers, with local people and small businesses working hard to make it a growing success. Being a Radiate Festival performer is really the perfect way to be on stage, be seen to increase your festival exposure and invite your friends to enjoy an open-air performance by you. We all know that booking gigs as an independent artist is not always easy or a fun experience. However when you join us we want to give you the good treatment as a show of our thanks, create a space for you to connect, have a lot of fun and at the same time do something really feel-good and positive for the local community.

We always love giving artists the space to bring their talent to share with an appreciative crowd. Our festival days are a nice vibe and very down to earth. So whatever time and talent you can spare, we’d love to hear from you!

What Can We Offer?

Whilst we don't have big performance budgets, we do have 2 types of Artist Funds which we offer as a grassroots organisation.

The first is a very limited one that covers local travel expenses, along with a hospitality package which includes a basic rider & some complimentary perks.

We also have a barter style system where we can provide trade spaces in exchange for your performance contribution.

If you have any questions you can get in contact with us by sending an email or completing the volunteer application form.
