Big Ears Festival — Knoxville’s shapeshifting, multi-dimensional, genre-defying celebration of music and arts — returns March 27-30, 2025 with another iconic gathering of many of the world’s most influential and visionary musical creators. Stereogum wants to offer you the chance to see Beth Gibbons in her first solo appearance ever in North America, be among the first to see Julien Baker’s new collaboration with TORRES, experience the dark transcendence of Ireland’s Lankum, and generally immerse yourself in the 4-day musical Utopia that is Big Ears.

One randomly-selected winner will receive one pair of four-day passes to the festival, which you can learn more about at bigearsfestival.org.

The only requirement for entry is that you must be a subscriber to Stereogum’s essential weekly email The Stereogum Digest at the time we select the winner. Before you enter the contest, sign up for that below or here if you haven’t yet.
