You can reach new fans who&#8217;ve just happened to wander past the stage, play to bigger crowds than you ever have before, meet other artists, and get paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus \u2013 you never know which industry professionals might be watching from the side. <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/the-impact-on-music-festivals-due-to-coronavirus-in-2020\/\">Music festivals<\/a> are also about networking. It&#8217;s work \u2013 but it&#8217;s a lot of fun, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to see your name on a lineup? Check out these seven tips for how to perform at a music festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Different festivals have different booking processes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Big, famous music festivals are filled through artists&#8217; booking agents liaising with festival bookers. Many festivals, such as SXSW, will have their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sxsw.com\/apply-to-participate\/showcase-applications\/\">own submission process.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UK for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-get-my-music-played-on-the-radio\/\">BBC Introducing<\/a> host stages at festivals and book artists just starting out who need that initial push to get them up onto the next ladder of the industry. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Getting a music booking agent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some artists employ a booking agent to approach festival organisers. They\u2019ll have the contacts needed to pitch your act as worthy of being included on lineups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Are a Booking Agent\u2019s Responsibilities? | Touring Tips for Festivals &amp; Venues | Music Business\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_-f5w-v965E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you introduce yourself, send an Electronic Press Kit, featuring examples of your music alongside stats of your social following and streaming numbers; and where you\u2019ve played previously, including footage of you <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-book-your-first-gig\/\">performing live<\/a> if you have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you present yourself to the booker with a good idea of your <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/the-most-popular-music-genre-in-the-world\/\">genre <\/a>and vibe, they\u2019ll be able to choose appropriate festivals. You need to make it as easy as possible for them to take you on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to play a festival without a booking agent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For an artist without a booking agent, the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-makes-a-good-diy-scene\/\">DIY <\/a>approach is the only route. You\u2019ll need to research how each festival books artists, and contact them to introduce yourself and persuade them to put you on their lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For smaller festivals that don&#8217;t have a submission process, be sure to find out exactly who the festival booker is for each event and reach out personally, introducing yourself and sending an EPK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out where the booker is based, and you could even invite them along if you play a show nearby, so they can see you in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the initial contact, if you\u2019ve heard nothing, be sure to follow up every couple of months, especially if you have new releases going out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Build hype first to secure your first festival booking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Release your music to streaming services to start building a fanbase and get your artist name out there. Bookers need to see that you can draw a crowd. At RouteNote our music distribution is free and unlimited forever, so you can put your music on <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/can-i-upload-my-music-to-spotify-yes-and-its-free\/\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-get-my-music-on-apple-music\/\">Apple Music<\/a> and platforms around the world and people can start discovering your music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is Music Distribution?\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3-wrn7BOK-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside this is making sure you have a solid brand, both onstage and online. You want to be memorable to festivalgoers and the promoters who will get you there. That means a good logo and a solid <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/10-top-tips-for-musicians-using-social-media\/\">social media<\/a> presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re on festival lineups, use social media marketing to generate hype and encourage your followers to grab tickets to support you on the day. With <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\">RouteNote <\/a>you can get your music on <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/can-i-add-my-music-to-tiktok-for-free\/\">TikTok<\/a>, as well as Facebook and <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-upload-music-to-instagram\/\">Instagram <\/a>to use in videos and give fans a taste of what to expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>When to contact music festivals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re aiming for summer festivals, start reaching out to festival bookers in November. The beginning of the next year is the time that festival lineups start taking shape. You don\u2019t want to get left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bigger festivals want to see progression \u2013 that you\u2019ve had experience playing, and you\u2019ve moved to bigger venues as you\u2019ve grown as an artist. Larger venues mean a bigger fanbase \u2013 which means ticket sales for the festival, which is of course what the promoter is interested in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also try and focus on festivals within your music genre, especially at first. If you&#8217;re an <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/interview-with-arc-north\/\">EDM producer<\/a>, for example, research <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/dance-music-distribution-free-for-all-dance-and-electronic-artists-and-labels\/\">dance <\/a>festivals with smaller stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Start local<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re starting out as an <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/free-distribution-unlimited-artists\/\">artist<\/a>, music festivals feel like a step up, and require more professionalism than your local bar. You need to make a good impression and start making a name for yourself, to get booked year after year and play a wider circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aim for local festivals first. The earlier, opening slots will go to local <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-have-a-better-band-practice\/\">bands<\/a> and solo artists, for one thing because this encourages their local fanbase to buy tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve performed at a festival and made a fantastic impression, you can reach out in subsequent years and already be on their radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>What to expect as an artist at a music festival<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day, be prepared with everything you need to get onstage and set up quickly. There\u2019ll be quick changeovers and an unfamiliar setup. Practise getting on and offstage and make sure everyone knows what the setlist is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you play a festival its easy to get swept up in the party atmosphere. But you\u2019re there to play a show, not to attend the festival, and if you act like you would as a ticketholder there\u2019s a danger you\u2019ll have <em>too<\/em> much fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn up drunk or late and you\u2019re going to ruffle some feathers, and get a reputation that will make life harder for yourself in both the short and long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"6 IMPORTANT TIPS FOR PLAYING ON A FESTIVAL STAGE\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B6GJMpjNnkU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\">Start building hype for your first festival appearance by getting your music onto streaming platforms.
