The A3C festival is one of the premier music events of the year. Annually, artists, labels, media and more descend onto Atlanta for a week of shows, panels and more.
Today, A3C announces that they are set to kick off The Circuit Tour.
In an official statement for the A3C says:
It is our mission to provide talented artists, and minds, a platform to connect with like-minded individuals in order to advance our culture. The Circuit is A3C’s first tour that seeks to further connect influencers and provide talented artists with opportunities to promote themselves and build their career. The Circuit will further unite the hip-hop community and provide networking, promotional and educational opportunities for artists, managers, media, creatives and others in multiple cities across the US.
The tour will hit 9 cities including Austin Texas, Detroit, Chicago, NYC and San Francisco.
The Circuit consists of 3 parts
Network) A3C invites a few dozen local influencers and tastemakers to hang out, connect and share a few drinks while a local DJ spins.
Showcase) A3C ambassadors host a showcase featuring the most talented local artists yet to perform at A3C Festival. A handful of notable tastemakers will deliberate after all of the performances and select the best performer of the night. The “best in show” will receive a set on The Circuit @ A3C Festival in Atlanta (Oct 8-12, 2014) and a prize package.
Headliner) The Circuit will conclude with a final performance from an A3C Alumni, or two. The headlining artist(s) will be announced prior to the show and will be selected by A3C ambassadors.
