Band Application
We aren't looking for just any bands, we're looking for three unsigned bands with unmistakable passion that bleeds through every performance. Bands whose energy can pump the beating heart of the legendary Webster Hall and embody the raw, unfiltered sound of NYC's indie rock scene.
Performing at AAF is more than just a show. It's about connecting with a community that'll back you before the rest of the world catches on, solidifying your place in New York's next indie rock moment.
Each selected band will receive $5,000 performance pay, get to experience a state of the art sound system and enjoy the comradery of stagehands ensuring your success! You'll be featured across AAF's socials and an integral part of the campaign content leading up to the big show. Imagine performing before an authentic downtown crowd of 1,000+ rocking NYC fans.
