IFF 2026 Showcases

This year, IFF’s showcases get a major upgrade. For 2026, we’re introducing a brand-new curated evening showcase programme, giving you the freedom to spend your days in meetings, sessions and conversations before heading out each night to discover a curated list of future headliners. 

Across Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 September, more than 20 emerging acts – presented in partnership with IFF’s agency partners – will perform in venues just moments from Outernet, in front of IFF delegates and an invited audience of music buyers and industry guests.

Whether you’re looking for your festival’s next breakout booking or simply want to experience some incredible live music after a busy day, the evening showcases promise to become one of the highlights of this year’s event.
