Excite continues to create meaningful pathways for emerging artists, and in 2025, the network’s festival partnerships are stronger than ever.
Some of these festivals have been with us for years, while others are fresh additions, bringing new audiences and possibilities. Several countries now have two partner festivals, doubling the chances for selected artists to perform abroad. Some festivals will host more than one act, further amplifying the impact.
Notably, this year we welcome Valley of Arts in Hungary – a special addition serving as the festival home for our Ukrainian partner, ensuring their artists still get to showcase their music on the international stage.
