Your Country Band Could Get Hired to Play Barefoot Country Music Fest

The Barefoot Country Music Fest is coming to Wildwood Beach from July 19  - 22, 2025. Over 40 bands and singers will take the stage over four days to entertain tens of thousands of people.

There's one more band needed - and it could be your band!

Cat Country 107.3 and the producers of the festival need to fill one more slot.

Your band could play the Barefoot Country Music Fest in Wildwood

Sunday, July 22nd, will be Barefoot's fourth and final day this year. Jelly Roll will close out the festival that night. Earlier in the day, your band could take the stage at the event.

We're looking for a country band to fill the spot as the Cat Country 107.3 People's Choice Band! If selected, your band will play Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 3 pm. (Time is subject to change.)

If selected, your band will be paid and included in as much of the Barefoot Country Music Fest's publicity and marketing efforts as possible.

Sounds pretty good, right?

We are currently making a call for interested bands. We'll then select three finalist bands, and our Cat Country 107.3 listeners will select the winning band, which will win this sweet gig!

Here's how to enter your band in the contest

We are looking for country bands that will play country music. (It's a country music festival, duh!) We are looking for self-sufficient full bands only (No sing-along music tracks, no karaoke.)

If your band is interested, send an email by 11 pm on May 13th to joe.kelly@townsquaremedia.com. Include the following information:

• In the subject line, write: Barefoot Band Entry.
• Tell us the name of your band and where you are from. Include a link to a YouTube video of your band performing one song. The video must be under 10  minutes in length. (Please do not send videos in your email. One YouTube link to one video only.)
• Include the band contact's name, email, and phone number. (This will happen fast, and we must be able to contact you immediately if your band is selected.)
