Communications Topics

The Village of Arlington Heights books live bands for Sounds of Summer concerts and Harmony Fest. 

Each year, the Village seeks a combination of long-standing favorite bands, along with new bands, in order to create a diverse lineup. The Village considers bands based off of videos of live performances and the band's social media following, in combination with a goal of providing attendees with different genres and vocals. 

If you are a band and would like to submit your group for consideration, please email your information, including links to live videos and your social media feeds to [email protected].
