2. Artist Sign-Ups

How to Sign Up

• Advance sign-ups are available via the link (posted with this info).

• Must purchase a ticket to sign up.

• Every ticket purchase = an extra entry on the wheel, so if you bring friends, fans, or family, they increase your chances of performing.

• If you signed up before but didn’t get to perform, you will get an extra entry on the wheel for this event.

Day-Of Sign-Ups

• Doors open at 6:30 PM.

• Sign-ups close at 7:15 PM sharp – if you’re late, you miss your chance.
