Questions?
We have received many questions from all of you through e-mail, facebook, and twitter. I figured I’d answer a few questions for all of you on here.
Q: When is the next AgapeFest?
A: AgapeFest 2011 will be held on April 29th and 30th 2011
Q: Is (insert band here) coming back to AgapeFest?
A: We have not booked any of the bands yet. Every year we do our best to bring back some favorites while trying to refresh things a bit by bringing in new bands or bands that have not played in a couple years.
Q: How do you all choose who is playing at the festival?
A: There’s a large number of factors that go into these decisions. How big is the artist? Are they selling well right now? How strong of attendance do they pull at their own show? Are they popular in our demographic? Does the cost of booking them fit within our budget?
Q: How do I tell you who I want to see at AgapeFest?
A: We would love to know who you want to see at the festival! Post the list of bands you want to see on our facebook wall.
Q: How do I get my band or my friends band on the festival bill?
A: If they/ you are a large national touring act (FF5, Sanctus Real, Addison Road) please have your booking agent contact us via-email.
A: If they/you are in a regional band we will start booking these bands from October through March.
A: If they/you are a smaller local band, keep checking our facebook page! We will put information up about Battle of the Bands before the contest opens and we will start booking second stage bands around the first of the year.
Q: Will the pork kabobs be back?
A: The Romero family has been at the festival for a number of years, they will probably be back but we won’t know for sure until they apply to be a vendor.
Q: How do I join the AgapeFest team?
A: AgapeFest is ran and operated by the students of Greenville College. If you wish to join the AgapeFest team, check out http://www.greenville.edu and speak to an admission counselor about becoming a GC student. For non students, a limited number of volunteer spots may open up closer to the festival.
Q: I have a question that you did not answer here.. how do I ask?
A: Write on our facebook wall or shoot us an e-mail at info@agapefest.com
Thanks,
Chris Emanuel
Director

Hi! My name is Katie and I am the festival and fair marketing coordinator for the iMatter foundation based out of upstate NY… I was just wanting to get in touch with someone from your festival about possibly setting up merch wise and/or partnering with you guys and getting some more information about your festival. Can’t wait to hear from you guys. Be blessed!
