March 24, 2022 

Check… check… test… test… ok, here we go!

Pull out your ukulele, clear your throat and take your 10 minutes of open-mic on the main stage of the Monopolele Festival!

Sunday May 29 in Piazza Palmieri in Monopoli, starting from the early afternoon, free the 4-stringed animal that is in you, amaze us like never before and, after your performance, get ready for the great play-along with the public and all other musicians!

Sign up for the open-mic! fill out the form and wait for the confirmation email:

What did you say?

Your craving for ukukele is never enough?

Okay, there is another way to participate: show us immediately what you can do! Share your video on Facebook and / or Instagram and use the hashtags #MonopoleleFestContest #MonopoleleFest. On Facebook please publish your video on our page @MonopoleleFest as well!

Play, sing, create and surprise us: the opening set of the festival's final concert will be for the winner of the video contest that starts ... now! 


After having published the video, tell us with an email: write to info@monopolele.com, insert as subject: “Uke for contest”, so we will not lose sight of it and we can republish it too.

The artist or group with the most WOW video! will be invited to open the evening concert on Sunday 29 May!

 

In summary, here is everything you can do with us and for us:

- subscribe to the open-mic

- participate in the video contest

- support us with crowdfunding by donating here: https://sostieni.link/30800

- spread the word! You can do it with a post, a short video, a message on Whatsapp, on the intercom, with the telegraph: Ukulele festival Monopoli STOP // 27-29 May STOP // Free event, free concerts, but if you donate something TOP then really STOP.
[EDIT] we will reward the funniest and the best performances of the open-mic with a beautiful engraved Mahilele Soprano Uke. And if you'll be the one to win the contest you will be rewarded with a precious Mahimahi Tenor Uke and being our guest for the night of your peformance!
