Playing live this summer? Remember to report all your shows

Live performances of your music can earn you money in the UK and around the world.

Whether it's a local show, a festival slot or a DJ set, you can earn royalties whenever your music is played live this summer – both in the UK and around the world.

Once you’re off stage, it's quick and easy to upload your setlists via your online account. You can also re-use or adapt your existing setlists to speed up the process, as well as track previous submissions.

If you’re not sure where to start, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you out and if you don't have an online account, sign up for one now.

We always suggest reporting your live shows after each performance, but depending on when and where you played, there are different deadlines:

• Live shows at small venues: within one year
• Large UK shows and international performances, including festivals: within three years

To get paid when your music is played this summer,  register all your music and remember to keep your bank details associated with your membership up to date so we can pay you what you're owed.

Here's to a festival season packed full of live performances where your hard work and creativity take centre stage.
