Put yourself on a ballot.
Read the artist deck (2 minutes), then sign up here. Nobody is voted on who didn’t ask to be. Opt in with your dates held and your price set. If the crowd picks you, you are booked. No “they said no.”
Artists. You get a page, a share link and a sixty-second pitch on the ballot. Your fans can buy in and vote, which is how a mid-size act with real fans beats a bigger name. Lose, and you go to the front of the next ballot.
You share the profit, by the votes. On top of the fee you set, the Bloom Split pays every main-stage act a share of the festival’s profit weighted by the votes that booked it; side-stage acts share a fixed slice equally; the crew has a pool of its own; and if every Sprout ticket sells, a bonus opens for everyone. The numbers are published live, so you can check your own share any day.
The slots. Nine, all on the main stage: a headliner, a direct support and an opener on each of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 23–25, 2027, in Southern Arizona. Headliners are voted first, Sprouts only; the rest of the bill follows one week at a time. The two other stages are booked by us directly; apply here too and say so.
A listing fee ($500) keeps ballots serious and pays for the campaign tools you get in return. We invoice it once your option is confirmed for a ballot, not when you apply.

Two minutes. Your name, a link, a short bio and your logo are what Sprouts see when they pick the acts they want.
PNG, JPEG or WebP. We shrink it for you.
By signing up you agree to appear on a ballot if we confirm your fee and dates with you first. Nothing is booked without that call.
You are on the roster.
We read every sign-up and reply within a few days. If it is a fit, we confirm your fee and the dates with you before you appear on a ballot. Sprouts can already pick you when they name the acts they most want to see. A copy is in your inbox.
