Folk Spot Denmark Opens for Open Call 2026

As part of assembling next year’s lineup, musicians and bands are invited to apply for participation in the upcoming edition of the project, which will, as tradition dictates, take place during Tønder Festival. With this year’s Open Call, both established and emerging folk and roots artists have the opportunity to showcase their music to audiences as well as a number of national and international industry professionals - the latter specially invited to strengthen cross-border networking.

Over the years, Folk Spot Denmark has become an important platform for Nordic folk, giving selected artists the chance to perform showcase concerts for industry representatives from around the world. For many, this opportunity has opened doors to new collaborations, tours, and international markets.

The application process is now officially open and runs from 25 November until 16 December at 14:00. All musicians working with original folk and roots music are encouraged to submit their material. The project emphasizes musicianship, originality, artistic direction, and not least the diverse expressions of the Nordic folk music scene.

Interested applicants can find more details regarding criteria and deadlines through Folk Spot Denmark’s official channels. For the selected artists, a unique experience awaits at the heart of the vibrant musical community at Tønder Festival 2026.
