Stage Application

Thank you for your interest in performing at CMA Fest 2025. We proudly support new and emerging artists, fostering opportunities for music discovery and enriching the cultural landscape with fresh sounds and unique voices. Proceeds from the festival go directly to help enrich and sustain music education programs across the country through CMA’s nonprofit arm, the CMA Foundation.

Providing sustainable music education programs is a mission we can all be proud of -and it works. Thanks to the generosity of each artist who donates their time to play CMA Fest, a portion of net proceeds, annually, are donated to support the CMA Foundation's mission. Since 2006, the CMA Foundation has invested over $31 million in music education to ensure every child has the opportunity to participate in music.

Artist submissions are open through January 31, 2025 for daytime stages only. All submissions will be reviewed, and applicants will be notified in mid-March. Incomplete or duplicate submissions will not be considered.

Please contact stages@cmaworld.com if you have any questions.
