This new Jumpin' Raismesfest - a battle of the bands type of event - is planned for March 17. The winners of the contest will open the festival in September.

Bands willing to apply must send their demos/CDs and biography to Jean-Phillipe (contact: programmation@raismesfest.fr) before December 31st. This is supposedly a battle of local bands, though bands in the whereabouts may apply (contact the organizers first).


Last year's Jumpin Raismesfest was won by local Hard Rock band "Marlyn's". The second and third contestants were chosen to headline on the small stage on Saturday and Sunday.
