Shirefest 2019 will be held at the Methel-stage on Crickhollow July 5th-7th and hosted by Second Breakfast!!!
Bands should prepare sets of 50-55 minutes, as well as one or two encores that you can play if time allows.
We're listing some additional times which will not be on the final schedule, but we want to know if there's any demand for earlier or later times each day.
We know that some of you may need to discuss with bandmates or could have something unexpected pop up over the next two months,
so please revisit this thread or contact Duidhrastir or Luventhariel right away if anything changes with your availability.
The Methel Stage is just some wood, cut and nailed together, and painted. It is nothing without the performers who stand on it and play.
We have 20 awesome bands signed up as of June 1st, which means that there are still a few time-slots left...but only a few!
Many of the bands have given us a very flexible schedule to work with, so the actual times available to play is still pretty wide open.
If you've thought about playing in Shirefest, but haven't committed yet, there is still time, but not much, don't think too long!
If you have any questions, any problems accessing crickhollowmusic, or any worries, please feel free to message Duidhrastir or I in game, via guildlaunch, via reddit, via lotro.com, or Luventhariel@yahoo.com.
And a HUGE THANKS to all the bands who have already signed up, from the returning veteran bands who helped start this wonderful event, to all our talented newcomers!

Hoping Puddlejumpers are in the set again this year!! Would love to hear an encore of their greatest hits. Their song about raids was so genuinely funny... And it's been a whole year but I still get haunting chills remembering their melody to Bilbo's Song in Rivendell. Come back to Shirefest, guys, Crickhollow loves you
