BANDS! If you are interested in playing a stage, please take a moment to look over the list below for options on where to play.

PLEASE REMEMBER: Cornerstone has no affiliation with any generator stage. We are simply providing a list of generator stages that are planning on coming to Cornerstone this summer.

  • All generator stage staff and performers must have purchased a FULL EVENT ticket.
  • Generator stages are not intended for performances of bands already scheduled to perform on official Cornerstone stages. No exceptions without permission from the festival office staff.
  • All Generator Stages must be completely housed in a tent large enough to cover both the stage and audience listening area.

  • There will be no exchange of money between the stage operators and the artists until right before their scheduled performance slot.
  • You must be respectful of your neighbors and cooperate with the festival security staff. The Cornerstone Festival staff reserves the right to shut down any generator stage at their own discretion.
  • No merchandise may be sold at a generator stage unless the stage operator pays the $600 ($500 in advance) merch fee. Details on the fee are here.
  • Any breach of this agreement will result in revoking of permit, closure of stage, and possible expulsion from grounds.

NEW FOR 2010: A UNITY DINNER
Hosted this year by the Fatcalf Generator Stage

The Fatcalf Stage, one of longest running generator stages, is making a change this year. They will be staffing the new Artist Hospitality Center. As a way of saying thanks and passing on the torch they will be hosting a Unity Dinner on Tuesday, June 29, 5 - 7 pm in the big striped metal building behind the Food Court.
Dan Bawinkel, the founder of the Fatcalf Stage, would like to say thank you to the many awesome stages that have been raised up to carry on the tradition and invite all the stage operators and their staffs as well as all the bands that are performing on Mon & Tues to join with them for a free meal, good fellowship, and a prayer for God's blessings.
