September 2-4 2010, WUOG 90.5FM will proudly present WUOGFest 2010, a weekend long music festival in downtown Athens, Georgia, celebrating and showcasing the city's vibrant and ecclectic music scene. WUOGFest will feature artists from various genres including rock, punk, metal, jazz, jamband, Americana, hip hop and reggae among others.
There are 50+ slots available and a minimum of 25 Sonicbids artists will be selected to perform. A mix of WUOG and Athens favorites will perform as well as emerging artists. The festival will take place at three of Athens most respected music venues, 40 Watt, Caledonia Lounge and New Earth Music Hall. Selected artists will be given the opportunity to perform in front of great crowds and be featured on the WUOGFest 2010 compilation, which will be distributed through various media outlets. Furthermore, there will be on-air coverage of the WUOGFest festivities on the radio as well as online at wuog.org/live/ for those that are not able to attend the event.
The main purpose of WUOGFest is to expose the Athens community to the vibrant music scene in the fall and draw crowds much like the ATHFest and Athens PopFest do in the summer.
