CALLING ALL ARTISTS

We’re offering two lucky artists the chance to play on the Main Stage at Sundown Festival this summer. We have two slots available: one on Saturday 31st August, one on Sunday 1st September.

It’s free to enter, all you have to do is upload one of your tracks. As a bonus, your track will be fully distributed to all streaming platforms, and you keep 100% of your royalties. It’s a win-win.

Sundown Festival is one of the freshest music festivals in the UK. It showcases the very best of new pop, dance and urban music. If you think your sound fits the bill, then this is your chance.

Follow the instructions below to submit your track for consideration.

1. Create your free Spinnup account HERE

Or if you already have one, login as normal.

2. Create a single release

Once you’ve logged into your Spinnup account, click on “Create a new release” and select the release option “Single (1-2 Tracks)”.

3. Upload your single

Upload the song you want to enter into the Sundown competition. Make sure that you only publish your own music and not recordings by other artists. For more info about that click here.

4. Add your track information

The stores are pretty specific about what can and can’t go on your release. DO NOT write your artist name, or the name of any featuring artists, in the song title.
For the version please select “Original”.
If your track contains explicit lyrics, please select “Explicit Lyrics”.

5. Add your release information

Go to “Release Options” and enter your artist name.
Choose the genre of your music and the language in which you have labeled your song.
You can select to release your single ‘ASAP’ or on a date of your choosing.

6. Upload your cover art

Continue to “Cover Art Upload” and upload a square image that is at least 3000 × 3000 pixels in size.
If you don’t have any artwork ready, then you can use one of the free designs we have created!

IMPORTANT: Your cover art should only show the title of your song and your artist name. Further information is NOT allowed on the cover.

7. Review your order

This is the last step, and it’s really important you check all the information to make sure it’s correct.
As part of our competition for Sundown Festival you do not have to pay for the worldwide release of your single for the first year. But as releases operate as a subscription, you will still need to enter your credit card information to renew your payment in a year’s time.
Remember, you keep all of the rights to your song and we’ll pay you 100% of the royalties collected.

8. Apply to the Sundown Festival jury

This is the most important part. Once your release has been confirmed (you’ll get an email from our team), login to your Spinnup account and click on “Sundown Competition” on your Overview page and follow the steps to push your track to this jury. If you already released music through Spinnup, you can choose any track to submit.
This will alert the jury and allow them to listen to your track.

9. Done!

After completing steps 1 through 8, you’ve successfully applied to #Sundown2019. The jury will listen to all of the songs submitted and then decide on the Top 2 to play.
This will be announced after the 7th June.
