Newcomer Festival in Spunk welcomes applications from bands.
The Newcomer Festival, a renowned event showcasing young musical talents, is returning in 2025. Organised by the Gelsenkirchen Falcons and the Spunk, this year's event promises to be a vibrant celebration of up-and-coming bands.
The festival offers a unique opportunity for young musicians to perform live and network within the music scene. Three bands will compete for the coveted title of "Newcomer Band of the Year".
Applications for the Newcomer Festival are now open. Interested bands are invited to submit their applications via email to [email protected]. The application process does not specify any particular criteria for selection, but bands are encouraged to include a photo, brief bio, and audio sample.
The competition will take place on November 8, 2025, at the Spunk venue in Ückendorf. As of now, the three bands set to perform have not been announced, but bands can still apply to compete.
The decision of the winning band will be made by both a jury and the audience. The victorious band will reap the rewards of more performance opportunities in the following year.
The Newcomer Festival serves as a valuable platform for young musicians to present themselves to a wide audience. It also offers a chance for musicians from Gelsenkirchen and surrounding areas to gain valuable stage experience.
The deadline for applications is yet to be specified. For more information, interested bands are advised to keep an eye on festival updates and follow the organisers on their social media platforms.
