MIGHTY BANDS CONTEST \u2013 Play at Mighty Sounds<\/h2>\n

Every year, we receive over 1,000 requests and offers from bands that would like to play at our festival. However, our capacity is far from sufficient, and we have been thinking about how to give a chance to small but high-quality bands that we might have missed.<\/p>\n

After last year’s huge success, we are announcing the second annual Mighty Band Contest for three slots at Mighty Sounds 2026.<\/p>\n

The conditions are simple:<\/h3>\n

Have you never played at the festival before?<\/p>\n

Do you play a genre that fits to Mighty Sounds?<\/p>\n

Ideally, send us a link to your work and introduce your band.<\/p>\n

We will select 30 bands from the emails we receive, which will compete in a vote for 3 slots at the festival.<\/p>\n

Send your applications to bandcontest@mightysounds.cz<\/strong><\/p>\n

The deadline is December 31, 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n
