As is our custom since year one, all submitted artists, regardless of whether or not they are placed to perform at the festival, are invited to attend LAUNCH 2023, with up to (5) complementary standard weekend badges!

All submitted artists are also invited to promote their material, through LAUNCH 2023 Print & Online Guide Ads, LAUNCH 2023 Compilation CD & Playlist, Attendee Bag Inserts, and more! A LAUNCH representative will contact each and every submitted artists regarding these promotional opportunities. Additionally, LAUNCH Exclusive lodging nightly rates and weekend lodging package information will be made available to every one of you!

Please make sure that the contact info you provide is one that you check regularly, as all opportunities are time sensitive!
