Find a band for BandUP 2026

Updated: Mar 5

This is our 4th annual BandUP STL Event. We are so excited to host the brave and creative souls who sign up and show up!


In case you are not familiar, this is the gist of it: we challenge local musicians of any and all levels to:


  1. Form a new band.


  1. Learn or create 3 songs.



  1. Then show up on May 31st to perform!


  1. Don't forget to invite all your friends, shows are always better with an audience.



On our end - we'll have 2 stages and a sound tech set up and ready to go.


Please note, this event is for NEW musical projects and concepts only. Minimum of 2 members per band. No backing track singalongs please, we have karaoke on Wednesdays for that 😉.


Lastly, comment here if you are looking to link up with a band! We recommend posting your abilities (vocals, instrument, style of music, etc.) along with your social media handle so new bandmates can get in touch.


We can't wait to see you all make magic happen!

Hey, I’m looking to start a band with anyone who loves punk, jazz, and electronic like I do! Been playing guitar and lead vocals for twelve years. Thanks!

Hey Zach, I'd be interested in teaming up! I've primarily played the bass on and off for close to 14 years, and take inspiration mainly from punk, grunge and electronic.
