Join the Unsound Festival team and become a volunteer! We are waiting for your applications until September 9th

Once again, we invite people passionate about music, art and independent culture to volunteer during the 20th edition of the Unsound Festival and become a part of the international music event.

Every year, we offer a chance to act in various areas and departments – from supporting our tech team, through taking care of artists, assisting the audience, ticket and merch sales to organizational experience related to assistance in the festival office or during the panels and workshops. A team of volunteers in cooperation with experienced coordinators watches over the course of individual festival events, cares for our guests and the audience, and has the opportunity to meet festival artists, journalists and professionals representing the music industry.

Volunteering at Unsound is an opportunity to gain experience in organizing cultural events and to make new acquaintances and friendships for years – the team of Unsound volunteers is created by a group of committed, creative and mutually inspiring people. We care about the stable development of our organization, high work culture and inclusivity.

You can submit your application until September 9th via the application form available HERE. Please be advised that the number of places for volunteering is limited. We will contact the selected persons by e-mail.

Please have in mind that the Festival takes place in Krakow, Poland between 9–16 October and your presence on site is required to participate as a volunteer. In case of any further questions feel free to contact us at [email protected].
