Want to perform at Summer Ball?

Heather Clarke

We are looking for a musical student act to join our line-up!

We are looking for a musical student act to join our lineup and perform a 30 minute set at Summer Ball 26 in the Acoustic Tent.

Summer Ball is one of our biggest events of the year, with over 3500 attendees across 4 venues with bars, caterers, and even a Fun Fair. We love to have our student groups perform with us as a celebration for the end of the year and now you have the chance to add your name to the lineup.

Here’s what you need to know:

Your act should have between 2 and 6 people.

Your act must all be current students.

You can play whatever music you want but the set should include covers. Our guests love to sign along!

You’ll be playing on the Acoustic Stage in front of the Library. We will be looking for something a bit more chill to go with our lineup.

You will not be able to bring a drum kit but we can accommodate an electric drum kit or other percussion. This is so we can control the volume around our other entertainment aspects.

Your set time will be confirmed but will be sometime between 20:00 – 21:30, with a sound check sometime between 15:00 – 18:00

You will need to provide your own instruments and amps but we will provide mics and the PA.

What do we get?

Each performer in your act will be paid a £50 performance fee and be given a Summer Ball Wristband, giving you free entry to the event.

Your set will be supported by Backstage, who run all of our tech support during the event.

To apply, please submit a video via our form by 10:00 Monday 13 April.

Acts will be shortlisted by the Summer Ball Events Team and posted on Instagram for a public vote.

Any questions, please email supromotions@bath.ac.uk.
