Making it at Starlight

Open Call for Local Artists – Your Chance to Take the Stage

Starlight Festival, in partnership with Visa, is launching a special open call for Egyptian DJ artists and producers, giving local performers the opportunity to bring their talent to the stage at Starlight Festival. 

The contest will be open for seven days, until October 1 at noon (Cairo time), inviting artists from across the Egyptian electronic music scene to showcase their sound, creativity and artistic vision. The initiative aims to spotlight emerging local talent and create new opportunities for artists to develop their careers and connect with a global festival audience.

Selected artists will have the opportunity to perform at the Homeground stage, presented in partnership with Visa, take an important step in their career journey and become part of Starlight’s inaugural edition. 

Taking place on October 9–10, Starlight will be the first multi-day, multi-stage festival of its kind to be held at the Great Pyramids of Giza. Produced by EXIT and P+US, the festival will bring together leading international and regional names for a landmark celebration of electronic music at one of the world’s most iconic locations.
