Last October, we launched our inaugural HOPE RockFest. Now, we’re super excited to say… ROCKFEST IS BACK, BABY!
Starting today, April 15th, 2025, applications to play our 2nd Annual HOPE RockFest are open! Do you play in a band or a duo? If you’re an up-and-coming, indie artist from Ottawa or the surrounding area, we want to hear from you!
Here’s the rundown of what’s in it for you, if you’re selected to play in our artist showcase:
- A 30-minute set, opening for a prominent touring artist
- A $100 honorarium per band member, to a maximum total of $500
- Space to sell your merch
- An opportunity for a band portrait
AND one artist from the night will be selected as an opening band for HOPE Volleyball SummerFest in 2026!
Please note: Musical acts/artists who were chosen to perform at HOPE RockFest in 2024 are not eligible to apply in 2025. You must be aged 19+ to attend.
So… what are you waiting for? Band applications are live! Right here, right now.
Deadline to apply is May 4th, 2025 at 11:59PM EDT.
