Edmonton DroneDay 2026 Call for Participation

Hi!

We're looking for local and not-local drone music artists to play in Edmonton on May 30 , 2026 from 2pm to 11:00pm. We're looking for community members to come and drone from 2pm to 5pm, and we're looking for multiple 20-30 minute drone performance for the evening from 7pm to 10pm.

Drone music is music with long tones, think the tubes on a bagpipe that the
musician doesn't control, those are drones. Drone music is like that.
Here's 6 hours of examples if you need a refresher on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDFcaXzo2sM

We'll be in person at the the St. Mary's Anglican Church, 11203 68 St NW, Edmonton, AB, Canada, T5B 1N6.

It'll be from 2pm to 11:00pm on May 30th, 2026.

On April 22nd, 2026 we will look at the submissions and adjudicate who to invite to play the evening of Drone Day. We reserve curatorial rights. Community members are recommended to fill out this form for the community drone during the day, which is like a 3 stage open mic drone jam.

There will be a honorarium, it was $50 last year. This year's honorarium will be based on the door and venue costs.

Email us at beams-submission@googlegroups.com with "DroneDay2026" in the subject line if you have questions.

Sincerely,

Abram Hindle
