Last Band Standing will let you show your stuff and be judged by fans, peers, experts, and distant friends. All bands who submit are automatically entered into Round 1, so what are you waiting for??

The Spoils: The victors of Last Band Standing go straight to music mecca—a gig at Lollapalooza. Plus there are tons of other perks and prizes. This year's festival will be held August 1-3 in Chicago.

Grand Prize Winner
The winning band will be listed as part of the official lineup and receive an opening slot on a stage at Lollapalooza 2008. As an official Lollapalooza artist, the band will receive artist passes for the entire weekend with access to catering, the artist lounge, and everywhere else bands get to go! The winning band will also receive two hotel rooms for three nights at the Hilton in downtown Chicago. Plus, we'll even give you tickets for your friends the day of your show.

To make it even better, the winning band will also get:
  • $1,000 travel stipend
  • Band promotion on the homepage of Lollapalooza and partner websites
  • A years supply of Glaceau products (SmartWater, VitaminWater, VitaminEnergy)
  • An on-air interview with Q101, an in-store performance at FYE, Asics Gear, Lolla goodies and more.

Runner Up
There's no crummy consolation prize here, as the second-place band will still receive a slot on the official Lollapalooza lineup! The runner-up will receive a slot on a Lollapalooza side stage along with artist passes and catering/lounge/access perks mentioned above. The runner-up will also receive tickets for your friends the day of your show, along with:
  • $1,000 travel stipend
  • Band promotion on the homepage of Lollapalooza and partner websites
  • A years supply of Glaceau products (SmartWater, VitaminWater, VitaminEnergy)
  • Asics Gear, Lolla goodies and more.

Other Three Finalists
And the final three bands that made the finale event won't be wasting a trip to Chicago. Even if you don't make it on the lineup, all three other bands will receive weekend tickets to the festival, $1,000 travel stipend, along with various other Lolla goodies.

Here’s How it Works
Round 1: Bands have from May 19 – June 22 to submit and generate as many votes as possible. Bands can spread the word everywhere: via their website and MySpace pages, at their gigs, radio interviews, and more. At the end of that period, only the Top 100 vote getters will move onto the next round.

Round 2: Celebrity judges will choose their Top 20 bands from the list of 100. The Top 20 semi-finalists will be announced June 30.

Round 3: The competition heats up as the Top 20 bands will upload two more MP3s, the votes are reset, and the finalists have from June 30 – July 13th to collect as many votes as possible to determine the Top 5. It’s simple: the Top 5 bands with the most votes make it to Chicago to compete live. Voting ends July 14, Midnight EST.

Round 4: July 30th. Double Door (Chicago). Time, TBD. Free show. The five finalists from online voting will be invited to Chicago to compete in the finale event, where two bands will be picked to play at Lollapalooza. The winning band will be chosen by a celebrity judging panel and the runner-up will be chosen by audience vote.

Please note: If you are a new member signing up for Sonicbids, please make sure to complete your EPK after you submit. The bio and photo you upload into your EPK will be used in online voting.

Submission Info
Please note: This gig is NOT using the Submission Tracker to review submissions.

What is Submission Tracker?
Submission Tracker is a feature that notifies you when your EPK has been viewed, lets you communicate directly with promoters who are interested in you and guarantees that your submission will be reviewed - or your money back. Gigs not using Submission Tracker are still required to review your submission, but will reach out to selected artists using their own methods.
Deadline To Submit: Jun 22, 2008
