Hi,

We love you are in a band but unfortunately we cannot reply to every band or artist that contacts us , it would simply be a full-time job.

Please note we do not accept applications to play.

Our line up is compiled of bands we see on the scene and believe would fit our festival, we also take onboard our festival goers opinions and feedback when they suggest a band, so make friends with a Firestormer! (they are a great bunch)

Of the Line up for 2023, all were voted for in our annual survey of ticket holders to either be new performers or return performers at this years festival.

If you still believe your band would be suitable for our festival then please look at either the 2022 or 2023 line up and let us know in which position (which band name) you believe you would position your band and also confirm your fee.

The Talent Booking team will then, if they believe your band would fit, check out your social media, your spotify and previous tour history. If the team wish to check out your band further they will then try to catch you live, preferably in Manchester. Please do not send us links to your videos or physically recorded material.

NB: The festival bloodline is selling tickets that is why even our openers are established touring bands that have a following.

Please also, before emailing us, check out the announced line up. We have approx 27 slots for bands over the weekend, so if we have announced that amount we are unable to offer you a slot for this year.

for guidance our slots are:

Two equal stages over 3 days

6 Headliners

6 supports slots

6 support of the support slots

6 openers

3 Battle of the band winners (sometimes this may reduce if we specifically invite a band to perform in one of these slots)

email contact@purpleuniverse.co.uk (Purple Universe are the owners of Firestorm Festival)

We really do wish you all the luck in the world and we hope you will one day be able to play our festival

All the best

Stret & Bev
