For our Belfast Edition, our Creators Forum will bring together five selected DJs and five music producers for a ten-day development programme delivered in partnership with AMPS Studio Belfast. Based in Conway Mill, AMPS is a professional recording and production facility and an accredited sound training space, and will host the Belfast edition of the programme.

Participants will:
• Receive one-to-one mentoring from music professionals
• Attend workshops and skills sessions
• Work and collaborate in a professional studio setting
• Access creative and professional tools
• Take part in a feedback session with a special guest producer

The Belfast cohort will also have access to the Belfast Talks Programme and AVA Belfast on 29-30 May 2026, connecting their studio development to the wider festival context.

The Belfast programme is open to applicants based in the UK or Ireland, aged 18-25, who are available to attend the full programme from May 18-30, 2026.

Creators Forum is supported by PPL through PRS Foundation’s Talent Development Network.
