If your Coachella hangover is any indication, summer festival season has arrived. And with it comes a plethora of amazing live shows all over the world. We’ve got the perfect prize back for any music fan on the scene this summer.
We teamed up with just a few of our faves to hook you up with tickets for your listening pleasure. Between our West coast friends at Bumbershoot, rocking out to the Black Keys at Catalpa, checking out the latest from Temper Trap at Liverpool SoundCity, getting Feist-y in at Sled Island or hitting the World’s Largest Summer Festival – Summerfest -we’ve got you covered.
Once you’ve got your tickets, you’re going to need some SICK headphones from our friends at Monster, Inc. They are handing over 2 pairs of serious headphones to each winner so you can have your music on the go. And Sonicbids will be throwing in $100 to sweeten the pot.

Happy Leap Day! That’s right, we are celebrating a day that only exists every four years (anyone wonder how we got this day anyway?). And since this is a whole 24 hours we didn’t plan on having, we suggest you take a few minutes to check out some of our favorite songs that invite us to leap – or dare we say – JUMP all 365 days of the year.

Yup, you read that right. Clock Opera is joining us for what we think is shaping up to be the best party at SXSW! Of course, we’re a little bias, but if you know Clock Opera, you’re probably shaking your head in agreement right at this minute. If you’re not familiar with Clock Opera, these UK blokes are an act impossible to miss at this year’s festival and if you read on, you’ll begin to see why.
You guys have been making some waves in the UK, but why don’t you tell us a bit about the band and where you’re coming from for those who aren’t familiar?
Hello, we’re Guy, Andy, Dan & Che. We’re new here. Show us round? We play songs which have been mentioned alongside words like euphoric, infectious, intricate, experimental/accessible. Please listen and decide for yourself. The songs are most often made by taking music to bits, reassembling it, singing over the top and adding whatever junk people leave in . . . → Read more

Man, I’m having a great time being the bearer of awesome news this week. Today, we’re announcing Oh Mercy to play the Sonicbids Official SXSW Party, presented by JanSport and our friends at Planetary Group! Join Oh Mercy and us for the party all day Friday, March 16 from 11:30-5:30 at Maggie Mae’s.
Oh Mercy, headed by Alexander Gow, has been turning some serious heads these days, so we couldn’t be more excited to have them on board.
