Unsigned, independent artists will perform at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana on March 29th, 2023, for the Chicago Street Idol Podcast Network Artist Showcase + Pacers Game event, which showcases local talent and provides safe venues for unsigned artists to perform in front of NBA fans. The Chicago Street Idol Podcast Network, a nonprofit project, provides each artist with their own podcast channel and website to showcase their songs, videos, and behind-the-scenes footage of their music careers as they are looking to become the next Chicago Street Idol. Artists who enter must reside in the U.S.A and be an independent, unsigned talent.

All artists on the podcast will earn revenue when their family, friends, and fans purchase tickets to the events. The Top 15 artists will be invited to perform on the court during the Artist Showcase + Pacers Game event on March 29th, 2023. The finalists will be selected based on raw talent, current fan-base, event ticket sales, and fan voting on the Chicago Street Idol Podcast Network. Fans who show up to live online and in-person events will earn an opportunity to win cash and other prizes.
