Bon Jovi has come to STAR 102.5 and asked that we help fill the opening slot at their show at the Wells Fargo Arena, November 2! It could be YOUR band!* Here's how it works:

IMMEDIATELY drop off your demo CD with two ORIGINAL songs (no covers please) along with a bio of the band, references for the band (as in who have you played with), and a band member's contact information (name, phone, cell, email), to the STAR studios at 1416 Locust Street, Des Moines. All CDs must be submitted by October 26 at 5:00pm.

STAR 102.5 will select FIVE bands to perform on air during the week of October 24, during Karess Carter's midday show. She'll chat with your band and you'll perform one song acoustic.

On Friday, October 28, an independent panel of three judges will select one band to win the opening slot at Bon Jovi's performance at the Wells Fargo Arena.

But wait! That's not all you get!

The winning band will also be in the running to open for Bon Jovi one more time... at the band's homecoming show at Giants Stadium, in New Jersey, next summer.

Think your band has what it takes to get on the road to STARdom? Get us your demos RIGHT AWAY!

*Entries accepted from Iowa bands ONLY.
