Why We Exist
Cheeky Fest is an arts community where we communicate & connect in person, face-to-face.

For Struggling Performers
For too long, performers (bands, bassists, composers, drummers, guitarists, pianists, poets, singers, songwriters ...) have been ignored by algorithms, lost in digital noise, made to feel inadequate or invisible. Even when we do get attention (Likes, Comments, Followers, Subscribers, Shares), it rarely translates into practical opportunities, tangible support, helpful income, real friendships, proper gigs or harmonious community.

Cheeky Meets & Cheeky Fest
Music isn’t just content—it’s connection. Cheeky Fest is about bringing us together in real life. Cheeky Fest gives performers a stage and an audience at least once a year. In addition to Cheeky Fest, Cheeky Meets provide an opportunity for us to come together as people with other humans to get to know each other, share our work, find new band members, promoters & venues, support each other through mental health (e.g. anxiety, bipolar, CPTSD, depression, EUPD, PTSD) unemployment, or personal / friendship / family situations.

How We Do It
1. Show up. We do our best to attend Cheeky Meets & Cheeky Fest.
2. Engage. We get to know others and help them get to know us.
3. Pay it forward. We invite other struggling performers to the community.
4. Respect everyone’s journey. We listen to peoples' experiences.
5. Spread the word. We invite others to enjoy every Cheeky Fest.

Not Just Another Festival - it's a movement; arts for social impact. We find our voices, express ourselves, build friendships, share experiences & listen to each other's stories, support people through whatever life throws at us & develop skills.

Join Us; We’d love to hear your story, help you share it and connect with others.
Come to a Cheeky Meet. Perform at the next Cheeky Fest

Turn off, Tune In, Head Out; We connect face to face and help each other.
