We're Now Taking Requests for 2006 Festival

05:17PM on Thursday May 04, 2006

We have a festival to put on, and now’s the time for you, our fellow Portland music fans, to pitch in. Tell us who you would like to see perform at the Third Annual PDX Pop Now! Festival, to be held July 28-30 at The Loveland. That’s three days—and a lot of slots to fill—so help us do some of the legwork; hey, we’ll be the first to admit we don’t know everything that’s happening musically around town.

Visit our new requests page and browse the list of acts already up for consideration. Make some additions of your own. Share with us your dreams of seeing the city’s biggest marquis names participate or clue us in to less-recognized bands to whom we ought to pay some attention. You can even tell us what kind of music they play and help us schedule a diverse lineup. You can also hear musical samples from many of the acts on our list and perhaps make some musical discoveries of your own.

No guarantees that we’ll be able to get all of your favorites, but every request does help us learn more about what’s going on with PDX music these days. So yes, every request counts. Make yours now.
