If your band is interested in playing on one of our grounds stages, submit an Electronic Press Kit through Sonicbids.com. Sonicbids is the website that helps bands get gigs and promoters book the right bands. They have musicians and music buyers of all kinds! For little more than the cost of print materials, CD and postage, you can create an EPK to submit to Summerfest PLUS have a three month subscription to Sonicbids. This EPK can also be distributed via Sonicbids to hundreds of venues and events throughout the world.

Summerfest is pleased to announce our continuing partnership with Sonicbids and offers you the opportunity to benefit from this money, time and resource saving option. We are now accepting submissions for Summerfest 2010 until March 31.

Summerfest is excited to promote both unsigned and independent bands through our Emerging Artists Series each year. Good luck!

For those of you who choose to submit a traditional press kit, we will be accepting those submissions January 1 through March 1.

Please mail materials to:

Summerfest Production
200 N. Harbor Drive
