Thank you for your interest in playing at The Door.

We need information on when would be best for you to play. In booking, we take into consideration music style, compatibility with other bands, fan base and routing schedules. Perhaps we can book you with some bands that have a strong following here for exposure to develop your fan base. We pay bands depending on how many people come to see them (we split up the pie). We also feel a deep desire to help bands get exposure and grow in their gifting, therefore we book unknown bands with bands who do have significant fan bases here. 

Local Bands in the Dallas/Ft Worth North Texas area (inside 90 mile radius from Dallas) email us us at thedoor@thedoordallas.com  and let us know the best dates for you to come and play.  You may check our website and find opening slots you’re interested in.

Out of Town Bands send your demo, then email us about a week later. Out-of-town unknown bands outside of the North Texas area (outside a 90-mile radius) pay a $100.00 non-refundable staging fee the first time they play to offset our costs of showcasing bands with no following. If you draw at least 20 people exclusively coming to see you, the fee is returned. If you live out of North Texas area email us at thedoor@thedoordallas.com. We don't have time to call every out-of-state-band. Out-of-town unknown bands outside of the North Texas area (outside a 90-mile radius) pay a $100.00 non-refundable staging fee the first time they play to offset our costs of showcasing bands with no following. If you draw at least 20 people exclusively coming to see you, the fee is returned. (Mail your check or money order to reserve your spot.)
