BEFORE THE EVENT

  • Remember, soundpedro will not furnish any equipment. Artists are responsible for all computers, projectors, screens, speakers, microphones, power strips, generators/batteries, cables etc. soundpedro will provide the site(s) and, in some cases, power. Sites not near buildings will not have power available. Portable batteries are a good option (Portable Power Station: https://tinyurl.com/bd73y9a4).
  • Artists will be emailed a AGCC 2026 Temporary Installation Form (required by AGCC). When you receive it, please fill out and email it back (A photo of a printed and filled out form is fine).
