***PLEASE NOTE: APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2011 GEEK POP FESTIVAL ARE NOW CLOSED***

If you think you could write a chemistry classic, a biology ballad, or a physics folk song; if you can simultaneously strum an acoustic guitar/bang on a steel drum and appreciate the Periodic Table of Elements, your talents are required.  We don't care whether you've got a record deal with EMI, or a PhD in rocket science, or both - as long as the tunes are good, and, of course, suitably sciencey.

Geek Pop showcases primarily original music - tracks that won't be widely available for download until the launch or alternative versions of existing tracks. There are also opportunities to play live gigs at our launch week events and through our collaborations with UK festivals including Green Man Festival.

BUT WHY SHOULD I BOTHER?

1) Play on a (virtual) stage at the world's only sci-pop music festival.

2) Get your voice heard, not just through your music, but through interviews with Geek Pop hosts in our festival green room.

3) Links to your website/MySpace page etc from the Geek Pop festival site.

4) Opportunities for international exposure on t'internet and at live events.

5) No need to travel to get to the venue.

6) Be part of something different. Whoever heard of a virtual geek music festival?

In 2010, the Geek Pop festival site looked like this - click on the stages to find directions to artist home pages.

OKAY, I'M IN, SO WHAT NOW?

Hold fire for now! The application process for the 2011 Geek Pop festival closed on 17th December 2010.

Please note: The Geek Pop online festival is a free festival.  We don't charge admission and we provide every visitor with a free recording of the event in the form of a podcast.  We rely on artists who are happy to exchange their music for the exposure the event offers them.
