Performers who wish to perform at the Edge of the World Music Festival on Haida Gwaii please read the following.

First: See previous performer quotes to get a feel for what it’s like to come here and perform. It’s a unique experience.

Where are we? Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) is an archipelago off the northern British Columbia coast. Access is by air (Pacific Coastal or Air Canada from Vancouver), and by floatplane (North Pacific Seaplanes) from Prince Rupert. B.C. Ferries has six sailings a week from Prince Rupert for vehicles and foot passengers.

See 'Getting Here' .

Performer Categories: Choose one of these when filling out the application.

Headliner - this category is for groups who have an extensive background performing and recording. We usually look for high energy bands who are willing to do two sets during the 3-day weekend.
Off-Island Guests - performers who come to the festival for the experience of playing for a very appreciative audience. These are non-paid spots, though we are able to offer small travel bursaries, and we are usually able to acquire travel assistance from the transportation carriers to the islands.
Local Headliner(s) - Performers applying as a local (i.e. on-island) headliner should be experienced and provide some form of demo recording.
Local Artists - on-island performers, non-paid. The number of spots will vary from year to year.
