Now the 104 new #talents have been announced – including Mavi Phoenix, Hope and ShaoDow!

 

Applications were being accepted until July 31, 2018 which were available to all bands and musicians from the participating countries. From all applications received, the festival partners have now nominated the best young musicians from their respective countries for INES#talent 2019.
