DO YOU
ROCK, RAP, WAIL, JAM?
If you and your bandmates have musical chops, this is your
chance to be in the spotlight and show the world.

HOW DOES
IT WORK?

With Launchpad, a music competition for high school students who are in bands formed outside of school, you'll compete against your peers in a regional concert extravaganza. The top three finalists from each region then compete in Madison for the grand prize: free studio recording time in Madison, a Summerfest appearance and the Les Paul Launchpad Award.

Watch Last Year's Competition

All bands advancing to the state finals automatically qualify to participate in the Summerfest Launchpad Regional Showcases, where they will each play a set on the Potawatomi Mid-Stage, one of the ground's only covered areas, with a potential audience of 3,000 people.

Each separate Launchpad Regional Showcase will be from 12-4 p.m. on the following dates:

Saturday, June 26 (Madison Regional finalists)

Sunday, June 27 (Green Bay Regional finalists)

Friday, July 2 (Milwaukee Regional finalists)

Saturday, July 3 (Eau Claire Regional finalists).

Advance Summerfest tickets are available through WSMA with $3 from each ticket benefiting the future of the Launchpad program.
