From jazz, soul and acoustic to R&B, reggae, hip-hop, electronic, contemporary and traditional Pacific sounds, we want to hear the different sounds and musical expressions of Oceania.

If your sound, genre or musical discipline isn't listed, we still want to hear from you.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Selected artists should be ready to:

  • Bring a strong musical identity, sound and performance style

  • Perform material suitable for the One Oceania experience

  • Bring their own creative or cultural influence, where relevant

  • Respect the cultural significance of any language, traditions, stories or music represented

  • Meet agreed rehearsal, soundcheck and event requirements

  • Clearly communicate any instrument, sound, stage, DJ or technical requirements

  • Bring a professional, respectful and collaborative approach

NO ARTIST PARTICIPATION FEE | SPRING 2027

As Spring 2027 marks the debut of One Oceania, there will be no application or participation fee for selected artists.

One Oceania has been created to give talented artists an opportunity to bring their music to a platform where it can be heard, recognised and celebrated.

You do not need a record deal, management team, professional representation or a large following.

Whether you're an undiscovered singer, emerging DJ, producer, musician, band or established artist, we want to hear what you bring.

ARTIST SELECTION

There is no fixed number of artist positions.

Selections will be determined by One Oceania at its discretion and will depend on:

  • The overall creative direction of VOYAGES

  • The artist's sound and proposed performance

  • Available performance times

  • Stage, audio and technical requirements

  • The variety of musical styles represented

  • How the artist complements the overall One Oceania experience

Submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee selection.
