Info: After the success of FOCUS Wales 2018, all signs are pointing towards another brilliant festival in 2019. With the new dates announced (16th – 18th May 2019), FOCUS Wales have opened applications for artists from Wales and around the world to showcase at the 2019 event. FOCUS Wales have signalled a desire to have more applications from Irish artists for their 2019 festival.
'One of the UK’s best festivals – showcase or otherwise' - Gigwise
'…a truly special event' - BBC Radio Wales
Festival Co-Founder Andy Jones says; "We're pleased to be opening up our artist applications for FOCUS Wales 2019, which will be our 9th edition of the festival. Our applications are open to artists worldwide, and to artists of all genres. We ultimately want to see the best new artists from across the globe showcasing here once again, and, crucially, that the artists are getting deals done at the event. It's what it's all about."
The number of industry reps in attendance grew significantly in 2018, including 150 delegates from festivals, agencies, and media outlets such as Glastonbury Festival, SXSW, Cambridge Folk Festival, BBC6 Music, Sounds Australia, POP Montreal + many more. With an expanded conference programme planned for 2019, the number of delegates will inevitably rise again. FOCUS Wales will be making conference speaker and programme announcements in the autumn.
FOCUS Wales 2019 takes places 16th, 17th, 18th May across various venues in Wrexham, North Wales.
