Dueling Decades Talent Contest

Calling all Bands or Solo artist! We are looking for some great talent to fill a band slot at our larger festival this fall. Winners will win up to a $500 contract to play September 12, 2026 at the Carlisle Fairgrounds.

We have about 15 positions available to compete for the contract! The competition will be held March 7, 2026 at the Back Porch Brewing Co in downtown Carlisle.

Cost is $10 to register your band or solo gig.

You must play songs from the 2000's to current. We are looking for 1 band to earn the opening spot of the festival and 1 solo artist who will host the event and play before the first band. Hosting the event will include making announcements and introducing the band. We will also be having games in between band sets; the host will help with that as well.

Register soon, spots won't last long! Once you register, we will email you your time slot.
