Hey there Synthwave, Vaporwave, and related retrowave genre producers–

If you've always wanted to synth out on that NEON mainstage, now is your chance to apply for this upcoming show! Click here to be taken to our new Performer Application page.

While some of our 2020 lineup will be able to make it for 2023 (stay tuned for announcements starting VERY soon), we do have a handful of available slots at this time. If you or someone you know deserves to be under those bright lights, send them our way!

Also, if you missed out on our live appearance on Nightride FM's The State of Synth podcast last Thursday, you can catch the audio by clicking here. Big thanks to Dennis and Jules for having us on, it was a blast and we can't wait to party with you in April! 

Welcome to the NEON blog, a brand new addition to our 2023 Retrofest website! We plan to use this space for in-depth announcements, profiles and interviews with musicians and special guests, sharing highlights of what we're working on, our thoughts and opinions about different topics, and much more.

If you're not already familiar with NEON, feel free to look around our brand new website www.neonflorida.com, or you can also explore our previous Rhode Island festival's website www.neonri.com to see what we were working on for 2020. It wasn't an easy road to get to this point, but we are confident that 2023 will be the best incarnation of NEON yet in its gorgeous new home of Tampa, Florida.

If you would like to receive updates about NEON Retrofest and related projects we're working on, the best thing to do is to sign up for our Discord, our email list, or follow our social media accounts on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. You can also follow our personal Twitch accounts @neon_arcade and @cobra_commanda for fun classic video gaming and other retro-focused content that we love and which helped to inspire the programming and themes of NEON Retrofest.

We look forward to spending time with you virtually and, very soon, in-person this April for the best event we have ever organized!

Stay retro,

Grant & Amanda
