Date: May 2026 - September 2026

Carowinds, Cedar Point, and Kings Dominion are looking for the best bands from across the country to participate in a unique Bands in Residence program. Local and regional bands can submit for consideration to share their music and talent with the millions of guests who visit during the park’s 2026 season. Chosen bands will perform at one of many live entertainment venues as part of the program.

Bands selected will perform multiple, short sets each day for six (6) days. This is a paid opportunity and includes accommodations (or hotel buyout), access to the park, and a meal/drink plan.

IMPORTANT! Bands should NOT EXCEED FOUR (4) MEMBERS due to stage and production limitations. Many of the stages will focus on solo/duo/trio acts. All genres are welcome, but there is an emphasis on rock, blues, country, folk, bluegrass, indie/alternative and pop. When creating your CloudPressKit, please provide as much information as possible and at least three (3) tracks of music that have been professionally recorded.
