So, we were gonna wait and announce tomorrow, but why wait?
It's been an absolute honor that so many artists have been submitting to play Laurel Cove over the past few years. And right now, while we're putting the finishing touches on our lineup, we figured we'd try and create an avenue to give bands a shot.
Typically, a "Battle of the Bands" scenario isn't something we'd typically entertain. But, this will ensure that the entries that folks submit to us will be heard and that there's a path in place for everyone to have their music heard and considered for LCMF 2026.
Info is below, but basically, if you are an artist or band that hasn't played LCMF before and would like a shot, send us links (YouTube, Spotify, etc) to two original songs to
aW5mbyB8IGxhdXJlbGNvdmVtdXNpY2Zlc3RpdmFsICEgY29t with the subject line of "RTC"
From there, we'll select 8 artists/bands to play at the Bell Theater on Dec 6th, and will choose a winner from those eight. Tickets to this event will be forthcoming, so stay tuned! There are some rules, which you can find in the comments.
Like most things we do, this is kinda off the cuff, so we may update it as needed. Best of luck to everyone!
