NEWS REGARDING THE LIVE AT HEART APPLICATION SYSTEM!

Every year we receive nearly 1,500 artist applications. To guarantee that your submission receives a fair, thorough, and professional review, we have introduced an administrative fee of €6 (Euro). This fee goes directly towards covering the costs of processing all applications. It ensures that every song is actually listened to by the right people – and that we can maintain the highest possible quality throughout the entire festival.

Thank you for respecting the time and energy we put into discovering new music!
