Jobs at Music Festivals
The jobs at music festivals normally involve stewarding in the campsite, wristbanding and other general duties. Shift patterns are arranged to allow you to enjoy most of the festival. You must be prepared to work a minimum of two shifts during the festival and are expected to perform your duties to a good standard. This is dependant on the needs of Festaff/promoter.
Please note, we do not offer specialist jobs at music festivals such as security, rigging, stage crew, electricians, plumbers etc. These jobs are handled by specialised companies.
Please Note:
You may only apply for 4 festivals. If you apply and then withdraw you may jeopardise this and other applications - so please be sure!
If you wish to be considered as part of a group you should email Festaff with the names, email addresses and application numbers of all those to be considered - a different email for each event. NB You must also apply for each festival individually via this website.
All individual events have the numbers of shifts required for ticket, wages available etc in their individual sections on Staff for Festivals page.
You may further your application by emailing support info to Festaff.
