This festival is run on a symbiotic principle: The venue provides the space and infrastructure, and the musicians provide the energy and the entertainment.

• Free Camping & Exclusive Area: Performers get a FREE OF CHARGE designated camping space at this popular, established campsite, along with private kitchen access and communal fires for cooking.
• Musician-Controlled Earnings: Forget fixed, low fees! Patrons contribute directly to the performers via a "busking" system using SnapScan, Card payments, and cash.
• Pro-Rata Split: We will keep a log of all stage time performed (in hours). All patron contributions collected over the 5 days will be split pro-rata among all participating musicians based on the total hours they played.
• Genre Focus: While all musicians are welcome, Reggae and Rock genres will particularly thrive in this setting.
• Less Lugging, More Playing: We will provide core backline gear like a drum kit and amps to make travel lighter and easier on your pocket.

This isn't just a festival; it's a five-day creative retreat where you can connect, explore, and jam.

• Morning Open Jams: Start your day with collaborative sessions designed for cross-genre exploration and spontaneous connection with fellow artists.
• Rotation Performance System: All participating musicians will get dedicated stage time on a rotating schedule throughout the day.
• Late-Night DJs: The party continues past 11 pm with DJs so bands can relax, enjoy the vibe, and be a part of the audience.

The MISFITS festival is the proving ground for a new model. Our ultimate goal is to bring this concept back into the city, creating a sustainable, long-term working relationship between venues and performers where responsibility and rewards are shared.

This model empowers you, the artist, to be an entrepreneur—allowing you to gig more frequently and take control of your event planning, while taking the financial pressure off venues.

While we can't guarantee a specific income, we guarantee a revolutionary concept, a fantastic New Year's experience with free camping, and the potential to dramatically impact your earning power.

If you want to spend 5 days ringing in the New Year, exploring your creativity, and participating in something that could change the live music landscape, this is your chance.
