Ireland Music Week is inviting artist applications for its 2025 edition, taking place from 1 to 3 October in Dublin.

Applications are open from 12 February to 25 March 2025. The festival offers 50 Irish acts the opportunity to showcase their work to 90 international delegates, including bookers and buyers from major festivals.

Artists must apply via Breaking Tunes, ensuring their profile is up to date with relevant tracks and social media links. Applicants should demonstrate how showcasing at the festival will benefit their career. Ireland Music Week provides €500 in expenses for showcasing artists but does not cover travel or accommodation for Irish artists living overseas. The selection panel will judge applications based on songwriting, quality of material, live profile, export-readiness, and overall impression.

Applications close on 25th March 2025 at 5pm, with successful applicants notified in May.
