Artist Contact: Be the personal connection between the festival and the artist while they're in town, from sharing tips, advice or directions about Tromsø, or passing along schedule updates.
Backstage: Help create a warm atmosphere for our artists in the backstage area. Bar and/or artist contact experience is a plus. Shifts will be from 23-26 Oct.

Pre- or Post-Fest Patrol: We need efficient and self-reliant people to help set up and take down around the festival venues. Ideal for those who are available before (23-26 Oct) and/or after the festival (all day 27 Oct). We also need someone to help us with the Kick Off party 5th Oct.
Tech crew: Do you know what an XLR cable is? And are you not afraid to touch one? We need people with a tiny bit of technical experience to assist our technical manager - If this is you, please sign up!
Accreditation/Wardrobe: Help the crowd flow smoothly through the gates as you welcome guests, register accreditation and staff the wardrobe. Or, help our artists by looking after sales at the Merchandise table. Shifts will be during the festival, 24 – 26. Oct.
