   The Great Escape festival takes place in Brighton and applications for 2025 are open now! They close in Feb 2025.

3. NEXSW

   NEXSW takes place in both Newcastle and Bristol, a great way to build fans all over the UK. Applications are open now.

4. YNot Festival

   Applications for YNot open around the new year and close at the end of march based on last year! This is great one for new music stages.
