80/35 is teaming up with Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and Iowa Public Radio’s Studio One to give Iowa bands an opportunity to win a slot on the Wellmark Main Stage alongside iconic acts including Death Cab for Cutie, The Avett Brothers, Dinosaur Jr., Leftover Salmon, and more. Entries are being accepted until Sunday, April 15 at iowapublicradio.org/events/play-in.html.

The Play In committee will select eight finalists to perform live on IPR’s Night Music from April 30 – May 10. Listeners will then rate each performance online and the top three highest average rankings will be guaranteed a slot on the 2012 80/35 lineup. Those three acts will then perform in front of a live audience in Des Moines on June 21. The final round of voting will take place to determine the top act that will play on the Wellmark Main Stage, and the second and third place winners will each play a set on the free stages. Get all the details.

Stay tuned! We’ll announce the eight semi-finalists on April 23 at 7:35 p.m. on IPR’s Studio One.
