Perform with DJ AG at live-streamed street set in Sheffield city centre this Friday
Three Sheffield artists can perform alongside DJ AG at a live-streamed street set in the city city this Friday.
The wandering deck mixer is famous for bringing live music sets out on the pavement, and is playing outside Sheffield Town Hall on Friday, March 6, 4-8pm.
And, there are three slots open for local artists to play a live session alongside DJ AG - but aspiring DJs only have until midnight on Monday to apply.
DJ AG said: “Every city’s got talent, but not every artist gets a real moment to be seen. Sheffield’s always had its own sound, so I’m bringing the live stream to the Town Hall and opening up three more slots for even more people from the city to jump on the lineup. If you’ve got a live set ready, apply, and let’s show the world what Sheffield’s on.”
Created in collaboration with Sheffield music college WaterBear, the event will spotlight the city’s grassroots talent with three additional performance slots being made available for even more Sheffield-based artists to join the lineup and perform as part of DJ AG’s live stream.
The wider lineup is being curated by WaterBear and partners and will feature a mix of WaterBear student performers, Slambarz CIC artists, special guest appearances from Sheffield music legends, and a selection of Sheffield’s best-known urban artists.
Local artists can apply now by sending the below info to [email protected]:
- Artist name + short bio (max 100 words)
- Links to live performance footage (YouTube/Instagram/TikTok/Facebook)
- Contact email + phone number
Applicants must be available 3–8pm on Friday, March 6., with the live stream starting at 4pm.
Applications close at midnight on Monday 2nd March. A shortlist will be announced on Wednesday 4 March, followed by a public vote on WaterBear’s Instagram and TikTok accounts.
Eve Massaad at WaterBear said: “Partnering with DJ AG to open up three ‘Apply to Play’ slots is a proper, real-world opportunity for emerging artists to perform live, in the city centre, as part of a huge moment for grassroots music. We want the next wave of Sheffield talent to feel seen, supported, and ready to step up.
