How does a SOLD OUT crowd of 35,000 people sound?

The 500 Festival is looking for entertainers to be part of the largest four-hour music festivals in the nation. Applications are now being accepted from live bands, cheer groups, DJs, and dance groups to cheer 35,000 runners and walkers to the finish line of the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon and Finish Line 500 Festival 5K. Live entertainment will provide motivation for participants making their way through the 13.1-mile course on Saturday, May 8.

Last year 100 live groups performed along the course of THE NATION'S LARGEST HALF-MARATHON. The application deadline for those who would like to participate is March 1, 2010. The 500 Festival urges those interested to apply early- space is limited.

Along with performing in front of 35,000 runners and walkers, all entertainers will have the opportunity to:
- have their group name and link to group website listed on http://www.500festival.com
- group name listed on "Thank-You" ad placed in local newspaper
- Personal signage can also be displayed at location

Groups can access the application online at http://www.500festival.com.  Groups must submit a CD or online link with a sample of their performance.
