It might be cold now, but before you know it, we’ll be back into summer, which means festival season! We’ve already seen the lineup for Kilby Block Party in May, and now things for June’s Fork Fest are kicking into gear too! Earlier this week, the annual celebration of Utah music announced via Instagram that band submissions for the festival are now open!
Fork Fest is put on by The Harrington Center for the Arts and Velour Live Music Gallery, and has welcomed acts like The Aces, The National Parks, The Backseat Lovers, I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME, The Moth & The Flame, plus hundreds of other insanely talented groups from right here in our backyard.
The submission window for this year’s festival is tight, closing on January 31. Bands interested in performing should get their applications in as soon as possible to have the best shot at getting accepted. Although the exact dates for Fork Fest 2025 haven’t been unveiled yet, the official website assures fans and performers alike that it will take place in June like normal.
Bands can submit their application here or can find links to the form on the Fork Fest Instagram and the Fork Fest website. Be sure to follow the festival for additional updates, and best of luck to all the bands applying! Be sure to check out our gallery of photos from Fork Fest 2024 while you wait for the lineup to drop!
