Perform at Paint Louis Festival in STL

Makin' It Magazine has partnered with Errupt Management to book up to 8 artists to perform live at the 2026 Paint Louis Festival, September 4–6 in St. Louis, MO. Known as the world's largest graffiti festival, Paint Louis draws 400+ graffiti writers from around the globe and a crowd of roughly 30,000 to the Guinness World Record–holding "longest graffiti wall in the world" just south of the Gateway Arch. This is a chance to perform on a festival stage whose past featured performers include hip-hop legends Rakim and DJ Qbert.
