2026 Spotlight Session in partnership with Spotify

You’ve been locked in the studio writing lyrics, producing beats, and laying down tracks. Now, take the next step and perform it to a supportive crowd at the second annual Spotlight Session, in partnership with Spotify, this autumn! 

Last year we launched this special event to celebrate the Roundhouse Creative Studios partnership with Spotify. Creative Studio Members had the opportunity to perform to Spotify and the wider industry and other creative studio members. It’s a chance to perform in front of the industry, your friends and your community. 

What you’ll gain:

  • Industry Visibility: Perform your music live in front of the Spotify team, wider industry and your peers in a low pressure environment. 
  • Performance Development: You’ll have the chance to practice your performance before the event, with support from our team. 
  • Paid opportunity: This is a paid performance slot. 
  • Future Collaborations: Get your sound firmly on our radar for future performance slots and other opportunities.  

Who it’s for: 

  • Exclusivity: This opportunity is strictly open to current Roundhouse Creative Studio members only.
  • Genres: We want to hear from vocalists, rappers, electronic producers, instrumentalists, and DJs. 

How to apply: 

Submit your music using our online form by Tuesday 15 September, 10am. 

I’M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE PART…

If you need help to pay for things like project fees, transport or childcare, we can help. Find out how you can get support. If you are using a bursary to pay for the project, please ensure you arrange this with the Advice Base with plenty of time before the start of the project.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL NEEDS. WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?

We are committed to supporting D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse young people, those with medical conditions, access requirements or any lived experience that may require adaptation, support or sensitivity. If there is anything you would like to let us (our youth workers, tutors or staff) know that will support your enjoyment and access, you can do so by emailing us at advicebase@roundhouse.org.uk, and we will contact you to discuss further how to best support your engagement.
