Where to play with your Street Band: 5 Festivals to get to know

The basic requirement for the survival of a band is continuous activity. To have a street band requires playing, again and again. 💪

As insiders, we know very well that there is something between saying and doing... everything! Finding dates for your street band is by no means easy: you have to deal with logistical requirements, coordination of musicians, organisation of the trip, budget management and permits.Each release is the result of the hard work of managers and musicians, who have to give their best to make everything go right.

👉For Street Bands there are several organisations that represent a real opportunity for the band's career. Festivals are organised throughout Italyad hoc where several groups perform at the same time. These provide an opportunity to make themselves better known to the public and, above all, to have a comparison with other colleagues.

We have selected5 Italian festivals for Street Band that we think are worth getting to know, even if only as spectators. There you will find the space that every street band seeks and deserves: audience appreciation, peer-to-peer comparison, friendship and sharing.

The Kebanda festival is organised in Formia (LT) at the end of July. The special feature? The Street Bands play on the beach, to the amazement and delight of the bathers. An unusual spectacle that brings live music close to the sea: we can assure you that the Street Bands playing there are delighted with epic photos! In the evening, the party moves into town, where the various bands play through the streets of the centre. Super recommended!
