Here is what bands playing at NE PopFest 2006 will get:

• Money  You may get a small amount of money (see the Band FAQ for more info.)
• Beer  As in the past, bands who play NE PopFest will get unlimited free beer. Once again, Sam Adams is a sponsor by providing bottles for the bands. And band members can drink the free beer all days of the festival, not just the day they are performing.
• You get to play The Abbey on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday
• Exposure to Potential Fans
• Press Coverage
• An Entry on the NE Pop web site  This is expected to include a photograph, a short, one paragraph description, and a link to your own web site (if you provide me with all this).
• Contacts with Other Pop Bands  This can be helpful for setting up out of town gigs, finding places to crash, etc.
• Merch Table  You can sell all sorts of band merchandise, including CD's, T-shirts, etc. Neither the festival nor the club takes a cut -- it's all yours. You can also have people sign up for your mailing list, give out schedules of your upcoming shows, etc.
• See Other Bands  On the day you play, you have free admission to the festival. If you choose to attend the other days (highly recommended), you get in for $5 (about half price) each day. Musicians who are in two bands that play the festival will get in free two days, even if both bands play the same day. Musicians in three or more bands that play the festival will get in free all days.
