Want to play Porchfest?
Thanks for your interest in playing Norcross Porchfest 2027. Applications open Nov 15.
Last year drew 1,500 attendees to hear more than 30 bands and performers across 12 porch stages, and we're excited to do it again.
Norcross Porchfest 2027 will be on Saturday, May 1 in Historic Norcross, GA
Applications open November 15, 2026, and close January 15, 2027
Lineup announced in February 2027
Apply to perform
Bands and solo artists of all styles are welcome to apply. Performers are selected by a volunteer jury of neighborhood residents, and each porch is scheduled around genre, backline, and staggered set times so neighboring stages don't bleed into each other. Sets typically run 30 to 45 minutes, and confirmed performers will receive their porch assignment and set time directly from us.
Day-of logistics
If you're selected, plan to arrive between 11 AM and 12 PM. Roads inside the festival area close to vehicles at noon, so unload everything before then. Roads reopen at 6:30 PM, and police will not allow vehicles through the closed streets before that time. If you need to leave earlier, you can carry your gear to a vehicle parked outside the closure zone.
Each porch host will provide an extension cord and a power strip. If you need to rent additional equipment, we've partnered with Radiant Live Events and are happy to make an introduction. Selected artists will receive more logistics information via email leading into the festival.
