The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) has long been known as the place where the music industry comes together. From groundbreaking gear to inspiring performances, The NAMM Show is more than a trade event—it’s a celebration of music in all its forms. This year, the organization is once again opening its stages to emerging and established artists through its Bands at NAMM program.
A statement from the company discloses that “Live music is a driving experience at The NAMM Show. Bands at NAMM is your chance to perform on one of seven stages alongside thousands of top brands and tens of thousands of engaged music and industry professionals.”
Those selected to perform will find that it’s more than just a gig. The company explains that performers will receive “NAMM Show badges to the show floor, education sessions during the show, networking through the NAMM Show App, additional guest badges for family and friends, networking events during the show, [and] exposure to a diverse audience of music enthusiasts, industry professionals and media.”
Applications are open now through September 17, with submissions reviewed by a selection committee. Artists will be notified by October 30 if they have been chosen to perform.
For musicians, it’s not only a chance to play for an audience but also an opportunity to connect with the industry at large—a rare moment where performance, networking, and professional growth meet on the same stage.
