​Our new and exciting competition for young bands/musicians aged 25 or under

​This year, Exile Music Festival is opening its Sunday afternoon stage to young performers. "Exile Introduces" is their new initiative to showcase young talented artists.

How to get involved

If you are based in the East Midlands, all you need to do is fill in our online application form (below) and include a link to a short audition clip (3 minutes max) that you have uploaded to the internet (Youtube, Facebook, Vimeo, etc.). 

​We will then re-post your clip to our own YouTube channel for all the world to see! From there, we will choose the six most popular acts.

These six acts will then be given the chance to perform on the main stage on Sunday at Exile Music Festival this year.

The closing date for entry is Tuesday 1st May. 

On the day, the acts will be judged by the Festival Organisers during their live performance, and the winner will be invited to perform as part of the main line at Exile Music Festival the following year as a paid gig. 

Successful applicants will have free entry plus two complimentary wristbands per act. All other associated guests will be entitled to a discounted Sunday ticket at £20.

Terms & Conditions apply, please read before submitting your application.
