Festivalus

Sometimes you just gotta give credit where credit is due. The creators behind Festivalus are doing their best to tackle the process put upon bands for applying to festivals. Currently, most festival applications force bands to sign up for services that incur ongoing fees and charge for each festival they want to apply to. In short, it’s a mess and it’s a hassle. The Festivalus mindset streamlines the process for both bands and festival organizers – making it better for both. They are kicking things off by handling the submissions for Next Big Nashville and plan on tackling more festivals as they grow.

They’re based out of Nashville and they’re doing what they can to push Nashville bands in the direction of out of town festivals. It’s a commendable practice.
