We are pleased to bring you the news that, once again, we are working with Sonicbids, whose system we are now using to manage all of our Artist Registration submissions.

What does this mean for me and my band, we hear you cry?! Well if you've not already registered, do so quickly as our registration process closes on the 15th February 2013. If you've already registered via our old system fear not, your submission is safe with us and our bookings team are busy listening through to the thousands of submissions we have already received, however we recommend you re-register through Sonicbids and take advantage of a fantastic two week free sign-up.

Sonicbids is the leading matchmaking site for emerging bands and music promoters. Its community of over 325,000 registered artists use the site to connect with 25,000 music promoters - ranging from some of the world's largest music festivals and conferences to clubs, universities and colleges, music supervisors and other people looking to book or license music. It's also the best place to keep your Electronic Press Kit in tip-top shape and makes it easy for us to get hold of your music and book you for our festival! It's also the ideal community for finding gigs across the world, engaging with your expanding fan bases, reaching brands and promoting your music to them.

Registration is free for all artists so make sure you register quickly before 15th February.
