Musicians: wanna have something in common with Jason Aldean, Gabby Barrett and Justin Bieber? They're playing a show at Summerfest 2022 and you could, too. It wouldn't be the same stage, but hey, a Summerfest stage all the same.

As of today, online submissions for up-and-coming artists to perform at Summerfest, in partnership with ReVerb Nation, are now available. This year, Summerfest takes place three weekends in a row: June 23-25, June 30 - July 2 and July 7-9.

Applications are available at ReverbNation.com now and will be accepted through Friday, March 25. 

“We are excited to partner once again with ReverbNation to bring new talent to our fans and give them an opportunity to take the stage during Summerfest,” says Scott Ziel, Associate Booking Director, Milwaukee World Festival, Inc.

Selected artists will perform a 45-to-60-minute timeslot on one of Summerfest's stages and compensation will be negotiated directly with the promoter upon acceptance.

Following last year’s acquisition by BandLab, ReverbNation’s artist services now have a reach of over 50 million musicians worldwide. 

"Working with a storied and prestigious event such as Summerfest signals our commitment to bringing the best opportunities to more emerging artists than ever before," says Meng Ru Kuok, BandLab Technologies’ Chief Executive Officer.
