Welcome to Xand Fest – an annual music video festival dedicated to the raw pulse of independent rock and underground alternative music in all its forms and subgenres. We promote the unfiltered spirit of emerging bands carving out their own sound.
What makes Xand Fest truly different is our unwavering commitment to the music underground. We welcome post-punk revivalists, garage rock disruptors, subway folk, alt-hiphop and emo grime, to name a few! And we celebrate the music tribes that create culture from the ground up.
If you have a single or album release soon – submit to our screening!
Our screenings showcase music videos that feel as fearless as the music itself, championing DIY aesthetics, bold conceptual work – and also the cool and cinematic. The bottom line is, whatever your music video genre, if it carries an underground edge and artistic integrity it belongs at Xand Fest. Send it to us. Let us be the judge.
We invite upcoming independent rock and alternative bands and artists to submit their music videos for consideration at this year’s Xand Fest. Whether you’re unsigned, self-managed, or releasing music on your own terms, our platform exists to amplify your voice. Join an annual celebration that doesn’t just screen videos – it strengthens a movement. Xand is not just a festival or screening, it is a cultural movement in the making.
