Time is running out to apply to perform at Eurosonic Noorderslag (ESNS) 2027 but the application deadline is September 1st. The festival is held every year in Groningen, Netherlands, and will next take place January 13–16, 2027. ESNS is truly one of Europe's largest and most important showcasefestivals, offering over 350 concerts across a wide range of musical genres and drawing more than 40,000 attendees, including around 400 bookers from international music festivals.

Alongside the festival there's an accompanying conference featuring workshops, panel discussions, networking events, and more. A great many Icelandic artists have performed at the festival and gone on to land countless other opportunities as a result - Ásgeir, Vök, Sunna Margrét, Mammút, and Supersport are just a few examples.
