Announcing your first wave of artists: a quick guide

Last updated on Apr 09, 2025

Announcing your lineup is a key communication milestone for your festival. To best support you in this process, here's a detailed guide for adding and publishing your artists via the FEST Backstage CMS:

Step 1: Adding Artists in Draft Mode

  • Access your FEST space: backstage.festapp.io

  • Click on the "Artists" section.

  • You can now add all the artists included in your lineup. This will initially save them as drafts.

Step 2: Publishing Your Lineup

  • Once your entire lineup is added, go to the "Settings - Information" section.

  • Click the "Make artists visible" button to publish all the artists on the application.

Recommendations:

  • It is recommended to provide as much information as possible for each artist (biography, photographs, external links, etc.) to enrich the user experience on the application.

  • The bulk publishing feature allows you to control the precise moment your lineup announcement goes live.
