Perform At The Festival

EJBF follows an open artists’ submission system which helps inform our programme to allow us to offer an ever varied, adventurous and fresh programme to our audiences each year. We champion high-quality musicians playing original music or offering thrilling shows. 

The 2025 Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival will take place from Friday 11 to Sunday 20 July. If you would like to be part of the festival, please read the following information before submitting your show/concept:

Priority is given to: 

  • Jazz, blues and related music 
  • Artists based in Scotland 
  • New and/or original work
  • Artists who help us present a diverse, fully representative programme
  • Smaller ensembles 

In your submission, please include the following information: 

  • Name of band/show title and description of the music 
  • Supporting material eg: EPK, Video, Audio, Social Media
  • High quality and high resolution photos (over 1MB)
  • Line Up
  • Where you/your band are based and if you have any access to tour support funding 
  • Tech Spec or stageplot
  • Contact information

IF YOU/YOUR BAND ARE BASED IN SCOTLAND, please e-mail scottishprogramme@ejbf.co.uk
IF YOU/ YOUR BAND ARE NOT BASED IN SCOTLAND, please e-mail programme@ejbf.co.uk

Due to the large number of proposals to review, we will only be able to get back in touch if a concert opportunity arises.

The deadline for all EJBF25 submissions is 15 January 2025. Please note: Due to the current state of culture funding we expect planning for 2025 to be on a much tighter timeline than it has been in the past.
