For the past decade, the A3C (All 3 Coasts) Festival has brought together hip-hop acts, influencers, and brands from all over the country for a regional showcase in Atlanta every October. Now, A3C plans on expanding this summer with “The Circuit Tour”.

From the A3C website: “The Circuit is A3C’s first tour that seeks to further connect influencers and provide talented artists with opportunities to promote themselves and build their career.  The Circuit will further unite the hip-hop community and provide networking, promotional and educational opportunities for artists, managers, media, creatives and others in multiple cities across the US.”

“The Circuit” will travel to Austin, Houston, New Orleans, Detroit, Dallas, Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco. In each city, four to eight selected artists from the area will have the opportunity to perform for a group of industry insiders and A3C representatives. The winner of each showcase will win a prize package and be selected to perform at the A3C Festival in Atlanta this fall.—Peter Walsh
