Applications for Wasteland Weekend 2026 performers are closed.

From the creative to the bizarre, to the brutal and truly mad-
bring your talents to the party at the end of the world!

Whether you’re one of our veteran performers or new to Wasteland, we’re excited you’d want to take the stage for one of the most unique audiences in the world, at a venue like no other.

We’re looking for bands, DJs, dance troupes, fire performers, Gogo dancers, themed sideshows, and more. Don’t fit into one of those categories? Let us know what you have in mind.

We’re looking for acts and performers that fit into the post-apocalyptic environment. No, you don’t need to have a themed vehicle or camp to perform, but your look and style should fit in to our aesthetic.

Given the visual nature of our event, it’s a unique place to get photos and video of your performance. We always have great photographers and videographers with us in the Wasteland. You may also get media coverage, as we have local and international media coverage every year, both in print and online.

Bands are allowed to sell their merchandise, and most importantly- it’s a hell of a lot of fun. The event is 5 days long, so even when you’re not performing, you’ll get to enjoy Wasteland Weekend!
