Every year Belfast hosts the largest music conference in Ireland and alongside of host of invaluable talks, panels and discussions, the evening features over 40 bands/artists showcasing their live shows.
These evening showcases are curated by a multitude of movers and shakers from the music industry including Nialler9, The Thin Air, PRS, IMRO and of course ourselves at Chordblossom.
For the first time at Output Belfast 2020, bands/artists will have the opportunity to apply to play one of the showcase gigs.
The application process and criteria for applying can be found below:-
1) The artist/band must be Northern Ireland residents (This is an NI funded opportunity, there are many opportunities for ROI bands to showcase via showcase hosts).
2) The artist/band must not have showcased at Output Belfast before.
3) The artist/band cannot have released their debut album yet.
If you fit these criteria and would like to showcase please submit the following via www.outputbelfast.com/showcasing

2) A press quotation (ideally national)
3) A 150-word bio including a rationale why the band are at the right stage of their career to showcase at Output Belfast (bearing in mind Output attracts a large travelling music industry delegation)
A panel made up of some of the 2020 Output Belfast showcase hosts will review all submissions.
