Gig Overview
The 1st annual, Xclamation Festival (Xfest) Las Vegas will be held on October 4, 2008. Xfest is unlike any other festival of its kind in the United States and features up to 40 bands and performers on 6 separate stages and the world’s largest outdoor disco that spans four city blocks.
XFest Las Vegas will be held at the Freemont East and will feature some of the best and most popular touring acts in the country. XFest Las Vegas 2008 has confirmed 5 guaranteed performance slots for Sonicbids artists.
In terms of compensation, artists are paid based on the band’s market value in Las Vegas. If a band has a proven draw, solid record sales, radio airplay or a cool shtick, they may earn some compensation. If bands have no draw then it is unlikely that you will be paid. However, Xfest does facilitate merchandise sales where artists retain 100% of the profits!
Previous Xfest performers include Blue October, Y&T, Powerman 5000, DJ Dan, Marshall Tucker Band, Digital Underground, Tone Loc, Dishwalla, Grandaddy, Sir Mix a Lot, David Bazan (from Pedro the Lion), Jupiter Rising and Vanilla Ice.
