Summary

FOCUS Wales is booking 11 Sonicbids artists for its annual multi-venue festival taking place in Wrexham, North Wales. The event places the music industry spotlight firmly on the emerging talent that Wales has to offer the world.

The Opportunity

FOCUS Wales 2017 will mark the festival’s 7th edition and will welcome over 7,000 new music fans to the town, building upon 2016′s record attendance across a jam-packed weekend of events. There's no place like Wrexham during FOCUS Wales, as we showcase 200+ bands, fill out a variety of spaces and music venues, using 20 stages, and hosting a full schedule of Interactive Industry Sessions, Stand-up Comedy, Arts events, and Film screenings, throughout the festival.
