HERE WE GO!
We’re opening up applications for WVE 17, April 5 2025 and WVEV(irtual), beginning April 1, 2025.
WVE happens in April each year at The Palms Restaurant in Wonder Valley, California. Experimental acts from all over gather in the Mojave desert for a fun and free show.
Acts who aren’t able to perform in person are encouraged to provide a 12-15 minute music video (performance, artsy, whatever floats your boat) to showcase your work. The Virtual fest will begin April 1 and run through the week.
We are also happy to invite volunteers to help out! We are all volunteers, but you might get a cool t-shirt out of it.
THANK YOU!
Thank you to the acts, to the attendees, and to our wonderful hosts, Kevin and Laura of the legendary The Palms Restaurant!
Another year of Wonder Valley Experimental is in the books, and we are beyond grateful for everyone’s enthusiasm. The bands were great, the fans stuck it out through the cold, and we had some really incredible volunteers that helped set up and tear down.
Next year’s date is April 5, 2025, and we’ll post the form soon.
It’s almost here!
