HOBOFOPO is a volunteer-run festival. In order to gain a free 3-day festival pass you can opt-in to do a volunteer shift (you don't just get a festival pass if you play).

A volunteer shift might be; working on the door or merch table for a couple of hours, airport runs, setting up or cleaning venues, sound engineer for a gig etc (all depending on what is needed and what you're able to do)

We really encourage artists to volunteer as it is a great way to get to know our community (networking, woohoo) and we always have a lot of fun! Also, it's a pretty easy way to get free entry to all of the gigs :)
Please read the above paragraph and let us know if you are interested in volunteering at HOBOFOPO 2026. It's okay if circumstances change. This is just to give us an idea of who is keen so we can plan a little better.
Are you also applying for the songwriter competition?
Are you also applying for the Gender Diversary Bursary?
Is there anything else you would like us to know (including any specific volunteer jobs you'd like to do/relevant skills you have)
