As an aspiring band there will be small venues and other events that you’ll be hoping to book. The peak of your plans might be playing at a local music festival. Selling your music at festivals can be a great way to gain new fans. There are usually a broad base of music fans who are already excited to hear great new bands, and if you're lucky enough to get a gig at a festival then you'll want to be ready to send your new fans home with some music.
