Don’t miss the chance to present your music to a broad international audience, including bookers, agents, and label representatives, who may help you take your work to the next level — quite literally.

Why November 17?

The Open Call launches symbolically on this date.

Thanks to November 17, 1989, the day marking the beginning of the Velvet Revolution in former Czechoslovakia, we can today welcome festival guests and conference participants from across Europe and around the world.

Each year, dozens of musicians showcase their free and uncensored creativity, while speakers openly explore themes connecting music with activism, travel, and both social and technological progress.

SHARPE Festival 2026 will take place at Nová Cvernovka, Bratislava, Slovakia, on April 24–25, 2026.
