Hidden Door Festival reveals 12 Scottish artists for 2026
More than 300 applications were submitted after organisers launched the music open call last month, with 12 artists chosen to join the festival line-up.
The selected performers include Azamiah, Buffet Lunch, Dinosaur 94, Doom Scroller, Emma Dunlop, Evie Waddell and HANSKLAMMER.
Also included in the programme are maniatrix, Molly Sellors and Charlotte Devlin, Post Coal Prom Queen, Taupe and Thundermoon.
Performers selected through the open call will also receive access to a mentoring programme supported by Creative Edinburgh and the National Centre for Music.
Hazel Johnson, director of Hidden Door, said: “Every year, we are blown away by the breadth and quality of applications we receive to our open call, and the amazing musical talent that exists across Scotland.
“We are thrilled to programme these exceptional acts and can’t wait to welcome them to the stage at this year’s Hidden Door.”
Ben Schogler, director of partnerships at National Centre for Music, added: “Supporting this year’s open call has offered an exciting glimpse into the breadth of emerging talent across the country, and we’re excited to see these artists bring fresh ideas, new sounds and bold performances to this year’s festival.”
This year’s Hidden Door programme will feature more than 100 creatives across music, visual arts and performance.
Tickets are available through Hidden Door Arts.
