SHAPE+ announces its artist roster for 2024-2025

The EU-funded platform, now run by 18 European festivals, will begin its third year of activities on 15 July.

Known for spotlighting innovative music and audiovisual art, EU-funded organisation SHAPE+ has announced the details of its roster for its third year running, which will commence this July.

With a focus on championing progressive music and art through collaborative residencies, one-off performance moments and more, this year the platform has expanded to work with 54 artists – their most extensive programme yet – through genres ranging from club sounds to boundary-pushing art and even traditional music and free improvisation.

Already working with radio stations including Rinse FM, NTS, Ola Radio and Resonance FM, this year SHAPE+ welcomes connections with radio stations across 13 more countries. They’re also adding three new festivals to their team, each with their own unique outlook, access to talent and dedicated audience – Serbia’s Polja, The Netherlands’ Rewire, and Switzerland’s Full of Lava (a very special addition, marking an extension of the platform’s reach with first-time funding via a partner outside of the EU grant programme, Pro Helvetia).

Together, they’ve selected their roster for the year, drawing both from SHAPE+’s annual call out and organic festival connections.
