Performer application 2021

Applications for the 2021 Newport Folk Festival are now open. We hope to bring a full program of music and activities at the usual venues but will keep the planning process flexible so it can adapt to changing circumstances and provide a safe space for all.

Successful applicants will be contacted and kept updated via email.

Before you apply...

1. Read this list of the festival aims.

One of the questions below relates to these aims, so you'll need to read them.

Our Aims

• Be affordable, accessible and inclusive
• Be an inspiring and celebratory experience for performers and festival goers alike
• Showcase a diverse range of local music
• Network with like-minded groups
• Involve all ages
• Provide learning experiences for musicians of all skill levels
• Nurture a sense of community
• Provide opportunities for active involvement to as many people as possible

2. Scroll down and read the questions before you start filling in the form.

We want you to be successful and the information you provide will be used to determine Festival performers.

Please be clear about your performance and what you bring to the Festival. Each performance is generally 45 minutes long. You need to provide a short bio for you/your group, a photo, a phone number, and an email address and can't submit the form without those.
