The selection phase is officially closed! We will get in touch with the selected bands privately.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

What is Music Never Stops Festival?<\/h2>\n
Because of the current world’ situation, the entertainment<\/strong> and music<\/strong> industries<\/strong> have been suffering a lot. Lots of festivals<\/strong> were cancelled, but that didn’t stop people from asking to be entertained. Thanks to live streaming<\/strong>, musicians<\/strong> were allowed to perform to their fans directly from their homes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We know that many of you were looking forward to the summer to play<\/strong> gigs<\/strong>, festivals or embark into tours.\u00a0That’s why we decided to give the opportunity to musicians from all over the world to play a virtual<\/strong> gig<\/strong> and get paid<\/strong>!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Every band will play a 20-minutes set<\/strong> and will have the opportunity to reach new fans, showcase their music and get the recognition they deserve!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

You’ll find a form<\/strong> below<\/strong> that you have to fill with all the relevant information about your musical<\/strong> project<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Due to technical requirements, we are asking every participant to record a short audition tape \/ medley<\/strong> to showcase what you’re capable of and if you have the technical equipment to pull this off.<\/span><\/div>\n

If you’ll get selected to play, you will get in touch with one of our organisers and discuss your availability and your fee. You will subsequently be asked to send a 20 minute clip<\/strong> (or several clips with your songs that should be 20 min in total). \u00a0Deadline is key here as we all want the festival to happen soon, so please be serious about it<\/strong>!<\/div>\n

Technical requirements<\/h2>\n
We’ll accept only bands that will provide the material<\/strong> in a timely manner and with good<\/strong> audio<\/strong> and video<\/strong> quality<\/strong>.
