Buskers Stage at The Riverside Festival

The Riverside Festival which takes place annually on the first Saturday in July (4th July in 2009) would love to hear from any Artists interested in playing on their Buskers Stage.

The Riverside Festival is entirely staged and run by a small team of volunteers on a not for profit basis. Admission is FREE although donations from the public are encouraged to help the organisers cover the costs of staging the event. The Festival is held on the Meadows in the centre of the historic market town of Stamford, Lincolnshire, and is widely recognised as the best free live music festival in the East Midlands.

In 2008 over 28,000 people visited the festival across the course of the day with 10,000 on site at any one time. The festival has 3 other stages of live music, a real ale beer festival, children’s entertainment, stalls and catering and finishes with a firework finale.

Artists can pre-book a 20 minute slot to play on the Buskers Stage by e-mailing
info@riversidefestival.co.uk clearly marking their application 'Buskers Stage'.

Unfortunately the registered charity that organise the festival are not able to offer a
fee, but with 10,000 people around it's a good opportunity to promote your music!
