Add the next edition of your festival
After your festival edition took place, you will be invited to add your next edition. Follow the next steps to do so.
In case you also need to update the details of your festival organisation, you can go to this chapter
Step 1: Login into your account via the upper menu


Step 2: Add a new edition
- If you select "Add new festival edition" all fields will be empty and you will need to complete them all.
- If you select "Copy a previous festival edition" all fields will be copied from one of the previous editions and you can just update the fields that are different for the next edition. This makes it easier to add your next edition.
- Select from which edition you would like to make the copy.
Step 3: Enter or update the details of the new festival edition
”Festival edition name”
- We recommend introducing the name of your festival including a reference to the year in which the edition takes place.
e.g., if your festival organisation name is “Music Festival Brussel” we recommend to use “Music Festival Brussel 2026” for the edition taking place in the year 2026. - You can create multiple editions in the future for the same festival organisation.
”Festival edition website”
- Enter here the link referring directly to pages of the edition you are creating.
”Festival location(s)”
- Enter here the main location where the festival is taking place. The City and Country are mandatory fields.
- It is possible to add additional festival locations by clicking on the green button “+ Add an additional Festival location”.
- In case your festival is taking place in different venues in the city centre, we discourage to add all the different venues as locations. In this case we recommend to add 1 location, indicating the City and the Country and leaving the Street, Street number empty.
- The City and Country will be shown under the name of the festival edition on top of your festival page.
”Start date and End date of this edition”
- Both the start date and the end date of your festival edition should be in the future.
- On case your programme has multiple events spread over multiple months, we recommend giving the full period as the festival dates. The maximum period is 4 months.
e.g. you organise a concert every Friday for 3 months. You give the date of the first concert as the start date and the date of the last concert as the end date.
e.g. you organise 10 days of events in May (spring) and 10 days in October (autumn). You create 1 festival edition for the spring programme and later you add a second edition for the autumn programme.
”Description of your festival edition”
- Here you can describe your festival. It is better to put here a short promotional text about the edition of your festival. Main festival topics, main festival artists, your values,... A detailed programme can be found on your own website.
- In case you copy the information from a document or a website, we recommend copying it as plain text and use the formatting tools on top of the field.
”Main festival picture”

- A minimum width of 2400 pixels is recommended. This ensures that most images display well and remain sharp.
