Question

Att få internationella artister att våga ställa upp på att spela på festivalen.
What does "ställa upp" mean in this context?  And does "få" mean "to make/compel"?

Answer

"Ställa upp" is in this context translated to "(to) join in" (it also means (to) help, but not really in this context) and "få" means "(to) get  / (to) make".

A full english translation of this sentence would be: "To get international artists to dare join in playing at the festival."
