Norfolk & Suffolk Music Hub are once again looking for acts to perform across our FOUR stages at the Royal Norfolk Show on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th June 2025!
With our four stages, we’re ready to host every musical genre and ensemble size, from solo performers to concert bands and choirs across both days at the Royal Norfolk Show
Check out our stages below!
Please note:
Performers on both the School stage and Bandstand stage will be sent a link to get order their entrance tickets via the Royal Norfolk Showground. This may include coach and car park tickets and will be at the discretion of the RNAA. Only performers on the Acoustic Stage and New Noise Stage will receive tickets via the Norfolk & Suffolk Music Hub.
Each performer will be issued with a free entrance to the Norfolk Show. Any performers under the age of 16 not attending with their educational setting will need to be chaperoned by a parent or guardian (one additional entrance ticket will be issued for each under 16 taking part for a parent/guardian chaperone).
We will be in contact by Wednesday 30th April 2025 if we are able to offer you a performance opportunity this year. Once you have accepted the performance slot offered you will be asked to submit a set list and stage plan for your performance including any technical requirements by Friday 30th May 2025.
Any students under the age of 16 will need to apply for a child performance licence if they are not attending with their educational setting. Proof of this licence will be required by Friday 30th May 2025. Further information on this can be found here: Children in employment and entertainment – Norfolk County Council.
