Playbreak is our apply-to-play for bands and artists aged 25 and over either from, or with strong connections to Lowestoft. It’s our way of showcasing the fantastic talent to be found in our local music scene and as well as programming a range of Playbreak musicians across the weekend, one lucky act is given opportunity to play a headline set on our main Sunlight Stage.
Applications to play at First Light Festival 2025 are now OPEN!
To apply, you must be over the age of 25; live, work or gig regularly in Lowestoft and its surroundings, or have strong connections to the area. You must also be available to perform across the First Light Weekend (Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd June 2025).
We ask that those who apply have at least 45 minutes of worth of original material, with a maximum of one cover song performed at the festival. As a family-oriented festival, we also ask that material performed at the festival does not include explicit language.
