Market Main STage

Want to be a #MarketMainStage performer, please read the information below and submit the interest form

Please complete the form below if interested in performing on the Portland Saturday Market Main Stage.

We encourage applications by performers of all ages, and genres.

At the Market we have a mission of providing space for both emerging AND established artists.

After review of your application we will categorize submissions by either new/emerging performers or returning/established acts, this differentiation will help us better cater to the needs of you and/or your band. 

Emerging Performers:

New/Emerging Performers are usually soloists or smaller groups new to the live performance world, these acts will often have a shorter time slot and can be more experimental in nature or instrumental. 

These performers have the opportunity to be invited back to perform at special events or to fill longer time slots as appropriate. 

Established Performers:

Returning and Established acts are musicians recommended by other reputable returning acts, have an established following/online presence, or submit a high quality catalogue of work.

These artists will be invited to fill longer full length time slots (1.5 hours) or to join us for special events suited to their genre.

PLEASE NOTE: The Market season does not begin until March 1st

You may submit your application now and will hear back on the status of your submission beginning in mid-February
