The second annual Six Points Music Festival, scheduled to take place from April 7 through April 11, will showcase performers at venues throughout Arlington. Last year’s festival featured over thirty bands at venues such as IOTA Club and Café, Galaxy Hut and Whitlow’s On Wilson.
Artists can submit materials to be considered for inclusion in the festival through the submission form available here. A CDR, including three original songs, is required along with the submission form. Full CDs or press kits will not be accepted. A $10 submission fee is also required. Checks should be made out to the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA), who will be co-sponsoring this year’s festival along with the festival’s founding organization, the website ArlingtonMusicScene.com. The money raised through this will be used to purchase advertising for the festival. All submissions must be postmarked by February 7, 2005. The line-ups and venues for this year’s festival will be announced in late February.
The festival gets its name from the Six Points of Arlington, representing the county's six major focal points: Ballston, Clarendon, Columbia Pike, Crystal City, Rosslyn and Shirlington. Last year's festival was concentrated primarily along Wilson Boulevard and near the Clarendon and Courthouse stops on Metro's Orange Line. Tentative plans call for this year’s festival to go beyond that region, with some shows possibly being held in nearby Washington, D.C.
