Payment? Money? How does all this work?

Here's the deal: no promises on payment for this fest!
But here's the kicker – any cash we rake in is all yours! Just make sure you're up for the wild ride and can handle the financial rollercoaster before you join the party.

How bands are compensated might be a bit unclear, but the breakdown is quite simple:

Step 1: We raise a substantial amount of money (last year exceeded $20,000).
Step 2: The total is divided equally among shares.
Step 3: We either pay you the day of, or within a week or so, it tough.

What's a share, you ask?

A share represents the total number of performers at the festival, not just bands or groups, but individual performers (capped at a maximum of 4 shares per band/group). For instance, if we have 25 bands this year, there could be a total of 56 shares! It's crucial to be honest when signing up about your band size to ensure fair compensation for everyone's hard work.

IMPORTANT: If you sign up with 2 members, that's final – no changes allowed. You can't add more members on the day of the event, okay?

Scheduling and stuff

Choose your performance days (August 14th noon to August 15th 3 am). We aim to offer prime spots by splitting sets or selecting optimal times. If limited to one day, we can't guarantee an ideal schedule. Your input is crucial; scheduling 30+ performances is a challenge, so complete this section thoughtfully.

A few final questions

Yes I agree

This is a question just to make sure your reading all these things and not just applying for a festival you know nothing about. So the question is, what is the name of the city/town that this festival takes place in?*

Yes I understand

Please verify that you are human or a dog, dogs are great.*
