🎸 CALLING CHATTANOOGA’S NEXT WAVE OF BANDS! 🎸

Got a band that’s been making some noise in the garage, playing high school or college shows, building a following around town, or just waiting for the right chance to get on a bigger stage?

**THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. 👀**

We’re looking for 5 up-and-coming bands from the Greater Chattanooga area to take the stage at The Friday Mix at First Horizon Pavilion on Friday, September 18!

Think fresh sound. Big energy. The bands your friends keep telling everyone they have to come see. Whether you’re a newer high school band, college band, garage band, or an emerging local group starting to make a name for yourselves, we want to hear what you’ve got.
**APPLICATION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 3**

🔥 5 bands selected
💵 $250 for each band chosen to compete
🏆$650 TOTAL to the crowd-favorite winner
🎤 20-minute live sets
🗳️ NO JUDGES — the crowd picks the winner so bring your peeps!
📍 First Horizon Pavilion
⏰ Competition starts at 6:30 PM

And because The Friday Mix is throwing it back to Y2K, every selected band will need to work at least ONE song from the Y2K era into their set. Have fun with it. Make it yours. We want to see what you do with it. 📀✨

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Bands based in the Greater Chattanooga area
• No solo acts for this competition
• At least one original song in your 20-minute set
• At least one Y2K-era song in your set
• A sample of your music with your application — send us your EPK if you have one!
• Bands that can bring the energy and bring their people — because the public decides who wins!

🥁 We’ll provide a drum kit, bass amp, guitar amps, full sound system and audio engineers. The application will ask about your equipment needs, so tell us what you need and we’ll see what we can accommodate.

**APPLICATION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 3**

We’ll notify the five selected bands by **September 7**, so yeah… the turnaround is FAST. Don’t sit on this one.

Know a band that needs to be on this stage? TAG THEM. SHARE THIS. SEND IT TO YOUR MUSIC FRIENDS.

Ready to show Chattanooga what you’ve got?
