Enter to book your band the gig of a lifetime — the opportunity to perform at the world renowned Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival! Bonnaroo is an annual four-day, multi-stage camping festival drawing more than 90,000 fans. Held on a beautiful, 700-acre farm in Manchester, TN, USA, the festival's entertainment village buzzes around the clock with some of the best performers in the industry including past headliners such as Radiohead, Bon Iver, Phish, The Avett Brothers, Foster the People and more. Rolling Stone named Bonnaroo "One of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll."
This year, Bonnaroo will invite 10 bands to perform at the festival. Each will receive $1000 in compensation — $500 USD courtesy of Bonnaroo and have their bio included on the “artist” section of the official Bonnaroo website.
“Bonnaroo was the most amazing experience of my entire life. I can’t believe it happened… Everyone loved the band, we sold a ton of CDs and gained a lot of new fans.” "Think about the best sounding stage you've ever played, and a virtually endless audience...that was performing at Bonnaroo. An unbelievable experience."
Submissions are open to bands worldwide. All submissions will be reviewed by Bonnaroo’s Music Advisors, and 8 bands will be selected. Two additional Sonicbids bands will be selected via Bonnaroo's Road to Roo contest, where fans will vote to send their favorite band to play at Bonnaroo! The Road to Roo contest will open for submissions in March 2013.
Net proceeds from the $10 submission fee will be donated directly to the Bonnaroo Works Fund, which supports various national and local non-profits. Check out the bands selectedfor last year's festival and our own 2012 Bonnaroo recap!
