Get ready for the ultimate showdown in your city! Hottest In The City Tour is an electrifying music artist showcase competition that travels from city to city, offering a platform for emerging and talented artists to shine. In each city, musicians perform their original songs in front of a panel of judges and a live audience, competing for the chance to win that city’s exclusive prize package, generously provided by local sponsors and vendors. The top performers from each city come together for an unforgettable grand finale show.
How it works
Artists, this is your golden opportunity to shine. Preregister now as a “Contestant” to battle it out for an epic prize package, or secure your spot as a “Featured Performer” or “Headliner” to captivate the crowd. We're expecting an electrifying atmosphere with at least a couple hundred passionate fans at each event. But that’s not all—these events will be filmed, live-streamed, and broadcasted online for the world to see! With a runtime of approximately 4 hours, we typically kick off the action around 8 or 9 PM, depending on the venue. Most venues are 21+, so make sure you’re in the right spot to experience the excitement! Don’t miss your chance to be part of something unforgettable!
