OurStage Presents the 10,000 Lakes Festival Cosmic Break Tour to Let the Fans Decide
Ten regional midwestern showcases give emerging artists the chance to perform at the 10,000 Lakes Festival 2008.
Detroit Lakes, MN (Billboard Publicity Wire) February 6, 2008 -- With the festival's initial lineup announcement still a few weeks away, the 10,000 Lakes Festival (10KLF) and OurStage announce the fourth annual Cosmic Break Tour. Through OurStage.com, this year's 10KLF Cosmic Break Tour will present musicians nationwide with the opportunity to perform in front of thousands of enthusiastic festival-goers at the 6th annual 10,000 Lakes Festival, held July 23-26 in Detroit Lakes, MN.
Through a series of 10 regional showcases throughout the Midwest, local artists register on OurStage and submit their music to be chosen to perform on the Cosmic Break Tour for one of 10 coveted performance slots up for grab at 10KLF. All bands and solo artists are invited to enter and all music genres are accepted. It costs nothing to apply.
OurStage is the only 100% democratic competition where the fans decide who's best in emerging music and film. Artists upload music and compete in monthly competitions. Fans visit OurStage.com and judge the music. Fan-favorite artists move on to the next round.
Based on the OurStage fan-rankings within the 10KLF Cosmic Break Tour Channel, 50 total bands will be selected to perform at 10 regional stops throughout the Midwest. At each stop, 5 bands will take the stage to battle it out live and the band with the most audience votes at each show gets to perform at the 10,000 Lakes Festival in Northern Minnesota in July. This competition truly lets the fans decide!
