Q: How long has Caterwaul been going?
A: Although our first year was TECHNICALLY 2020, we did everything but have actual Caterwaul due to some pesky global pandemic. 2022, 2023 and 2024 are the years we have done so far.
Q: When is Caterwaul 2025?
A: Caterwaul 2025 is Friday, May 23rd through Monday, May 26th 2025 in Minneapolis, MN
Q: Are you on social media?
A: Yes! Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky and Twitter. Tag us in your photos and posts. We love it.
Q: Can my band play?
A: No, Caterwaul 2025 is fully booked, we did not take submissions this year.
Q: Why not?
A: Caterwaul is very carefully curated and scheduled by the organizers… this is why anybody cares about it at all. We didn’t build this on random submissions. It doesn’t mean that here aren’t wonderful bands out there that we don’t know about, but sifting through hundreds of submissions every year actually impedes us from putting the best Caterwaul on that we possibly can. We all are very active in music year-round, and we do understand that not taking submissions may seem elitist and/or lame. We just don’t have the resources to do it and give everybody a fair hearing. We also have to balance out new bands and returning favorites with a finite amount of slots. There are plenty of ways to get on our radar though.
Q: When will the schedule be posted?
A: February 7th, 2025
Q: Will there be tables for my wares at this event?
