Unleash the Music: The NOVUS Stage is Calling Bristol’s Young Stars!
Do you have a mini-rockstar shredding on a guitar in the living room? Or perhaps a young vocalist who turns every car ride into a sell-out concert? If you’re in Bristol or the South West, it’s time to move that talent from the hallway to the spotlight.
The NOVUS Stage is officially back, and we are looking for the next generation of musical talent. This isn’t just a competition; it’s a platform for primary school children to experience the thrill of live performance in a professional, high-energy environment.
Why Enter The NOVUS Stage?
For many young musicians, the jump from practicing in a bedroom to performing on a stage can feel daunting. The NOVUS Stage is designed to bridge that gap. We provide a supportive, professional atmosphere where kids can build their confidence, meet other young performers, and get a real taste of the music industry.
What’s waiting for our performers?
-
Professional Feedback: Every act performs in front of an expert judging panel.
-
The Ultimate Prize: Beyond the trophy, winners will earn a professional recording opportunity—the perfect kickstart for any aspiring artist.
-
Confidence Boost: There is no substitute for the experience gained by performing live.
Who Can Join the Lineup?
We are keeping the doors wide open for a variety of styles and instruments. If your child is 7 years or older and attends primary school in Bristol or the South West, we want to hear them!
We are currently accepting entries for Soloists and Groups in the following categories:
-

Note: While we encourage performers to bring their own “lucky” instruments, we can provide some equipment if requested in advance!

How to Secure Your Spot
Here’s the catch: because we want to ensure every performer gets their moment to shine, spaces are strictly limited. Slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and they tend to disappear faster than a drumstick at a rock concert.
Don’t let your child miss the chance to say, “I started at The NOVUS Stage.”
