Our Fête de la Musique shortlist is here.
Our focus was to curate a broad spectrum of sounds, styles, energies, and personalities — artists who each bring something unique to the dancefloor.
One slot will be decided by your voting, while we’ve kept one final wildcard in our back pocket. We’re curious to see if your favorites match ours. 👀
Please vote only once — one vote per person.
Voting ends on 30.05.
That means two new artists will earn their place on the lineup.
Originally, we planned to select 10 candidates and prepared a Top 14 shortlist. Unfortunately, five applications had incomplete material or submissions that didn’t meet the required quality standards, so we decided to move forward with the strongest nine.
We hope to see even more great submissions next time.
Good luck to all selected artists — and thank you to everyone who took part.
