Deadline approaching to submit to play Upstream Music Fest 2018

If you were one of the lucky ones that attended the inaugural Upstream Music Festival then we are likely preaching to the choir when we talk about how excited we are to see what happens in year number two. We has a blast there and so did just about everyone we saw or talked to.

Another shining revelation was that for these three days in Pioneer Square music was king. Even more important, our local music was king. Sure there were some art installations created for the ultimate selfie experience but people did not come down there for that, they came for the music and you could hear the chatter everywhere. People excitedly talked about the band they had just seen and who they wanted to see next. The numbers seem to solidify the feeling that most people had that it was a major success. Over 30,000 attended the festival and another 5,000 saw the free shows either on the streets or in Occidental Park.

The 2018 version of Upstream has been pushed back to the first week of June, following Sasquatch by one weekend. Although the weather wasn’t horrible for the trial run, pushing it into June seems a wise decision.

The submission period started on November 3, 2017 and will close on November 24, 2017 so if you want to play, you need to act fast. Click HERE to visit the Upstream Music Festival and submit to play.
