Calling all London musicians!

This is your chance to perform/showcase at Sunfest ‘26!

For the past five years, Sunfest has welcomed leading national and international presenters to London through the International Presenters Network (IPN) creating real opportunities for artists to connect, tour, and grow their careers.

For the first time ever, Sunfest is launching a joint call with the London Music Office for London-based artists to be considered for both festival performances and curated private showcases in front of visiting industry delegates.

Many local and Canadian artists such as The Pairs, Sunshine Makers, Wesli, Lemon Bucket Orkestra and more have gone on to book national and international festivals as a result.

Past presenters have included representatives from New Orleans Jazz Fest (USA), Seoul Music Week (South Korea), and Festival Cervantino (Mexico), among many others.
