AmericanaFest 2021 Passes On Sale Now

Passes for AmericanaFest 2021 are on sale now. As previously announced, the conference, held by the Americana Music Association, is returning on September 22-25, 2021 after having to cancel in 2020 due to the pandemic.

The conference  will be held all week at the Westin Nashville. The three nights of music discovery showcases start on Thursday September 23 in addition to many daytime special events hosted by friends and supporters of AmericanaFest throughout the week.

The Americana Music Association’s critically acclaimed Americana Honors & Awards ceremony will once again serve as the hallmark event of the week on Wednesday, September 22 at the Ryman Auditorium.

“We’re beyond elated to once again be able to celebrate with our incredible community in Music City,” says Jed Hilly, executive director of the Americana Music Association. “As we prioritize having a safe and positive event for everyone involved, we’re looking forward to bringing back exciting music discovery, industry insight and plenty of networking opportunities that our attendees have come to enjoy over the last two decades.”

At this time, in accordance with current Metro Nashville and recommended CDC guidelines, the event’s organizers are releasing a limited amount of passes for sale to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of attendees.

The AMA will continue to monitor the situation as the event date approaches.
