Band Application

On Saturday, May 20, from 12 pm to 7 pm, local bands are going to get Virginia Highland jamming! Porches throughout the Virginia-Highland neighborhood in Atlanta will host 50+ bands for one hour each. Apply to be one of them! We accept all genres of music and we prioritize family friendly tunes. The deadline to apply is March 1. Bands will be notified of acceptance by March 15. 

Please read the terms and conditions before applying.

Applicants certify that all information provided is true and accurate. Application does not ensure acceptance, and acceptance notifications will be sent out by March 15. Performance in a previous year of Porchfest does not guarantee acceptance into this year's Porchfest.

Band/musicians who request porches will only be honored if that porch has applied to the porch application. We recommend that you have the same porch request you as well. 

Musicians playing in more than one band or act are not guaranteed a spot on the same porch. Crossover performances are subject to location changes. 

Bands/musicians must provide their own sound equipment and extension cords to connect to the porch's electricity. Bands/musicians are responsible for their own load in.

Bands/musicians are not paid to play at Porchfest. However, we recommend you put out tip jars and/or QR codes for VenMo, CashApp, etc.
