Blossom.
The festival the crowd books.
April 23–25, 2027 · Southern Arizona · three nights · three stages · the main stage voted by 3,333 ticket holders, starting January 1, 2027.
The festival
Three days in wildflower season.
An intimate music and wellness festival on natural ground in Southern Arizona. Sunrise yoga and tai chi, an opening ceremony, sound healing and workshops by day; the main stage from 4 PM until 1 AM; a drum circle around a ceremonial fire until 4 AM. Everything is included in the ticket, so the crowd stays with you instead of queuing for a wallet.
The problem
Promoters guess. Fans buy blind. Scalpers keep the upside.
A lineup is a bet made by a few people in a room, months before anyone has bought a ticket. Blossom turns the order around: the tickets sell first, and the people who hold them decide who plays.
How it works
3,333 Sprouts buy in at $222. Then they vote the main stage into existence.
Sprout tickets
The first 3,333 tickets, sold before a single act is named. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or any crypto. The ticket lives in the Blossom app, which is also the ballot, and $222 becomes the floor for every ticket after it: up only.
Weekly votes
Ranked-choice ballots, one a week. Every ticket is one vote, signed from the holder's own phone. Results and the full count go on a public ledger.
Committed first
Money in the bank before the lineup exists, which is what lets us put real, confirmed fees on every ballot.
Three stages, three nights
The main stage is the crowd's. The other two are already filling.
Main stage
Nine slots, every one of them voted: a headliner, a direct support and an opener on each of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is the stage this deck is about.
Two more stages
Booked directly by RecursivMusik so the weekend has a floor before the first vote, announced as they are signed.
What is voted on
Nine main-stage slots. Headliners first.
- Headliner · week 1
- Direct support · week 4
- Opener · week 7
- Headliner · week 2
- Direct support · week 5
- Opener · week 8
- Headliner · week 3
- Direct support · week 6
- Opener · week 9
Each slot is one week: voting opens Monday, every night the act with the fewest votes drops out, and Saturday has a winner. Headliner weeks are Sprouts-only. An act that goes out moves to the front of the next ballot, so one "no" is never the end.
How you get booked
Opt in. Bring your people. Win the vote, you are booked.
Name, link, genre, a short bio, your logo and your fee. Two minutes at blossomfest.org/artists.
A quick call to lock your fee and the dates. Nobody appears on a ballot before this.
Logo, bio, a sixty-second pitch and a share link. Sprouts can already name you as most wanted.
Anyone who buys a Sprout ticket votes. A mid-size act with real fans beats a bigger name on paper.
Win and it is done, at the fee you set. The result is written to the ledger within the hour.
What you get
Your fee, your terms, and a crowd that chose you.
The fee you set, plus vote shares
You name your fee when you sign up; win and that is what you are paid. On top of it, the Bloom Split pays every main-stage act a share of profit weighted by the votes that booked it, side-stage acts share a fixed slice, and the whole split is published live. Nobody negotiates in a back room.
Your fans become Sprouts
Every fan you bring in holds a ticket and a vote. Your share link tracks it. Bringing a crowd is the whole game.
A page and a pitch
Logo, bio, links and a sixty-second pitch, on the ballot and on your own page on blossomfest.org.
Everything on the record
Votes, results and bookings on a public ledger anchored to a blockchain. No back-room decisions.
The numbers
Fixed before anyone is booked.
Sprout tickets
Four per person, so the electorate is a crowd, not a broker.
Up only, +$50 a round
The price steps up $50 every time a round is decided and the floor rises with it; it never drops. A selling round opens after every vote, so fans whose taste the lineup no longer suits sell for a profit and new fans buy in.
Nights × acts
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Three main-stage acts a night.
Ballot cadence
Nine weeks from the first headliner vote to a full main stage.
