2025 ROCKONSIN, brought to you by the Nicholas Family Foundation, invites all statewide 7th – 12th grade Badger State garagebands, of any musical genre, to apply by sending in a one song (cover or original) video of their band’s performance.
Bands can sign up and apply Free beginning March 1 at www.rockonsin.org and can run off a free application poster.
Three music industry professionals will review and score out all band application videos to determine the Top 10 State Finalist bands invited to Summerfest for the finals competition.
Each of the Top 10 State Finalist bands selected will receive two Shure microphones (one vocal & one instrument mic each with cords) and will perform 20 minute showcase sets.
The 10 State Finals bands will be announced on May 15th.
One State Finalist band will perform at the Waukesha Rotary BluesFest in August.
The winning band will also receive from Shure a wireless vocal microphone system.
The winning and runner-up bands will each receive a second 45 minute showcase gig at Summerfest 2025. Each winning band member will also receive a ROCKONSIN Award.
The top two bands will also each receive a professional recording session at Madison’s Blast House Studios (12 hours for the winner and 8 hours for the runner-up).
Key 2025 ROCKONSIN features:
There is NO registration fee; never any associated costs to participate.
The 10 State Finalist bands will each perform a 20 minute showcase set.

The band must be comprised of two or more musicians, one member of the band must be a vocalist.
