Artist Applications

All artist submissions for AFROFEST 2026 will be managed through www.StageVibes.com.

Artists who wish to be considered for the festival must create a professional artist profile on

the platform. Your profile should include:

Artist biography

• High-quality photos

• Performance videos or live recordings. YouTube Links.

• Links to music or streaming platforms

• Technical requirements and stage information

Any other relevant promotional materials

Creating a complete and professional profile will allow our programming team to properly

review your work and assess whether your performance is a good fit for AFROFEST 2026.

Due to the high number of submissions we receive each year, only artists with fully

completed profiles will be considered during the selection process.

We look forward to discovering talented artists and showcasing the diversity and excellence

of African and diaspora music and performance at AFROFEST 2026.
