One of our favourite festivals Vantastival, is now accepting applications to perform at next year’s event. Last year the festival featured the likes of Badly Drawn Boy, King Kong Company, Saint Sister, The Hot Sprockets and a host of up and coming Irish acts at the Beaulieu House, Co. Louth venue.

As ever the festival gives preference to local acts and acts from Louth, Meath, Monaghan and Armagh should apply with ‘Local Act’ and the name of the act in the subject bar. Acts from outside those counties should apply with the name of the act in the subject bar only.

The festival is also looking for a short bio, contact details and links to music (at least 3 songs) from all applicants. No downloads will be listened to. See full list of term and conditions for more details.

Applications to play Vantastival 2017 must be submitted by 5pm on Friday 16th of December to music@vantastival.com. Good luck.
