Big Music Fest 2014

Qualifying bands are urged to submit applications at www.sonicbids/breaking-bands

Big Music Fest 2014 - Breaking Bands

Mark Higgins, President and Owner of Big Music Fest, desired something different from other band competitions, so instead of just offering cash prizes and gear, the winning band will not only be given mentorship, touring opportunities and other unique prizing, but will also be filmed for a year leading up to their main stage performance at Big Music Fest 2015. The filming will cover rehearsals, studio time and live performances with a whole lot of “life in a band” thrown in!  The finished documentary will be used as a promotional tool for the band to shop to industry professionals.  The finals for Breaking Bands will take place on the opening night of Big Music Fest, on Friday, July 11, in front of a live audience.

When:                  Friday July 11, 2014

Where:                 McLennan Park, Kitchener

Time:                     2:00pm to 10:30pm

Admission:          FREE
