The Debut is back.
One song. One stage. Great company.

The Debut returns this October iluvlive's flagship event, championing new music.

Each edition brings together a curated lineup of rising acts performing full headline sets, alongside our signature one-track segment where artists have the space to make their mark in front of a live room that’s ready to listen.

Be first in the room.

Tickets and the full lineup drop to our mailing list first. Sign up below for early access, artist announcements, and everything iluvlive.

We’ve tidied up the format so the night runs smoothly

• Each artist performs one song, so make it your strongest.

• We can only fit in 15 artists max. Acts are announced in order of sign-ups

• Once you submit your track, that’s the one we play. No changes on the day or during the show.

• Send us the version you actually want played. If your PA version differs from the one on streaming, send the PA version. Whatever we receive is what comes through the speakers.

• Try to keep it under 4 minutes. Shorter sets tend to hit harder, and with a packed bill, every minute counts.

• You’ll need a valid ticket to perform or an approved guestlist slot to perform

• The deadline to submit is 24 hours before the show
