Wanted: Musicians and bands to play No Kings Day of Defiance on June 14 in St Paul MN

We are looking for performers for the No Kings Day of Defiance on June 14 at the MN State Capitol. The event will include a march from Saint Paul College to the MN State Capitol followed by a rally at a center and side stage from 11-2:30 on June 14. We are looking for musicians/bands to perform on one of two stages in front of the Capitol. (Or other locations if opportunities emerge.)

On April 5, 43,000 people attended the "Hands-Off" Rally at the Capitol and now the same coalition is hosting a "No Kings" event at the Capitol on June 14th. We are Indivisible Twin Cities, MN50501, Women's March MN, and the AFL-CIO in MN. The event will combine defiance, resistance, joy, and action. We will have speakers, of course, but also music, poetry, theatre and family activities. 

We want folks who can get the audience excited or engaged. We are looking for songs that speak to the mission or ethos of the day. We are looking for diversity in music and performers. Our goal is to select a range of artists to match the range of attendees.  

If you are interested, please let us know by filling out the application, which includes specifics on availability by Wednesday June 4, 2025. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
