NEW ARTISTS
Note: Submissions for Mile 12 (2025) are closed.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS: Artists, please make note that we will receive several hundred submissions and, based on the reality that we can only include a handful of these new artist submissions in the festival each year, the odds of being selected to play Mile 12 are very long. It has become the hardest part of the job for all of us on The Mile Team (having to say no to so many deserving artists) as the festival has evolved in stature and popularity. Your understanding of this reality is important to us because, as noted, we can only select a very small number.
You will need the following information in order to submit:
- Email Address
- Artist or Band Name
- One (1) link (YouTube) to a LIVE performance.
- Link to your Spotify or equivalent streaming platform
- Link to Electronic Press Kit (EPK) if applicable
- Acknowledgement that you or your band have at least fifty (50) minutes of 100% original music to perform *
- Main Booking contact for yourself & your band – First & Last Name
- Main Booking Contact Phone Number
- Main Booking Contact Email
We look forward to reviewing your submission. Note: We will only contact you if you are selected to perform at Mile 12.
To be considered: All first-time artists/bands must submit their interest in performing at Mile of Music via the artist submission process and during the allotted time period for consideration. Steps must be followed precisely as noted or the submission form will not be reviewed. Submissions sent via email or social media messages will not be reviewed.
