JUST ADDED: San Diego IndieFest has announced headliners for its sixth annual celebration. Headlining the Main Stage at IndieFest 6 will be Billboard Chart toppers, METRIC, whose fourth album release, "Fantasies," has become a global indie sensation. Also headlining is FAR, who is rapidly gaining national notoriety with their cover of Ginuwine's 1993 hit, "Pony," and platinum-selling Alternative Southern rap group, NAPPY ROOTS.
Say It Records and Champ Records present the sixth annual San Diego IndieFest - the nation's first and only exclusively independent music and arts festival. San Diego IndieFest is a celebration and revelation of the ever-growing and increasingly powerful indie music and film happening throughout the country.
The sixth annual event will be held on March 27, 2010 from noon to midnight and will feature over 60 artists on 6 stages. Artists will include everything from local buzz-makers to national indie icons and only Independent artists (not signed to a major label) are eligible to play at San Diego IndieFest. Diversity reigns at this year's festival, with music ranging from rock to pop, R&B to hip-hop, salsa, spoken word, folk and more – all genres are not only welcomed but encouraged. There may be compensation available for some artists.
Last year Indie film stage debuted in Southern California, the Academy Award winning documentary short, "Freeheld," as well as an array of other outstanding indie shorts and full-length features. All independent filmmakers are highly encouraged to submit.
Past music headliners have included indie icons Juliette Lewis, Beth Hart, Claude Coleman (WEEN), Semi Precious Weapons, Veruca Salt, Jonatha Brooke, Fishbone, Michelle Shocked, Scissors For Lefty, Heather Grody (The Murmurs), and World renowned double-violinist, Gingger Shankar. Our most exciting headliners yet will be featured at our big 6-year birthday event next March 2010!
The music is emphasized as a representation of why diversity is not simply to be 'tolerated' but rather to be celebrated as the crux of that which is remarkable in our community, and that which is crucial to a healthy, vibrant city where people of all types are important, recognized and valued.
Debuting in 2004, SDIF made history as the only event of its kind in the entire country, dedicated to celebrating and advocating Indie music, art, business, culture and thought. Nearly tripling in size in its sophomore year in Nov. ’05 with over 2500 in attendance, and tripling again in '07, SDIF has become California's hottest and youngest event to grow this exponentially.
