APPLY HERE: Changeover Festival 2026 Open Call

If you are looking for a chance to play in front of new audiences and music professionals, Changeover Festival 2026 offers more than just a concert slot. Selected artists will join a lineup of regional and international acts from the independent scene and perform in front of an audience of more than 5,000 music fans, tastemakers and industry professionals. The festival also promises strong promotional support through its own channels, local media and partner networks, helping artists reach well beyond the live event itself.

Taking part also means access to the broader festival and conference program, including talks, discussions, open tables and networking opportunities. Each selected act receives a full festival pass for every team member, one delegate pass per band, and a professional stage and production setup adapted to the performance. International artists are also provided with accommodation for each band member on the night of the show.

Before applying, it is worth noting the practical side of the offer. Changeover does not cover international travel costs or artist fees. However, it does provide full festival access for the whole team, local transfer and accommodation for international acts, one hot meal and drinks per member, and sound and backline support based on the submitted technical rider, together with professional production assistance.

The application process is fairly straightforward and asks for the usual materials: artist name, short bio, links to platforms such as Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud or YouTube, a technical rider link, Instagram, contact email, and city and country of residence. For Slovenian artists and other export-ready acts, this could be a useful opportunity to combine live visibility with professional networking in a strong regional setting. The wider Changeover program also includes additional 2026 activity beyond the October festival, including Changeover Tour dates in several cities and a planned stop in Ljubljana.
