/by

BMI has renewed its long-term partnership with C3 Presents, one of the world’s largest music festival producers. The multi-year agreement solidifies BMI as the only performing rights organization with stages at the Austin City Limits Music Festival and Lollapalooza.

“BMI’s relationship with C3 is one of our most rewarding and long-standing partnerships,” explains Mason Hunter, AVP, Creative, Nashville. “Together, we have created a unique festival experience for fans and artists alike. We’re thrilled that C3 continues to recognize our ability to bring up-and-coming talent to their stages and look forward to a long-lasting partnership.”

In partnership with C3 Presents, BMI has used its stages to showcase artists such as Lady Gaga, Halsey and Chance the Rapper, who all made their Lollapalooza debut on the BMI stage before they were household names.

“Together with BMI, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Music Festival share a long history of celebrating songwriters and we are pleased to be able to extend our partnership through the next several years,” adds Charlie Walker, Partner, C3 Presents. “We look forward to seeing the best and brightest new songwriters on the BMI stage each year.”

BMI premiered at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in 2003. The stage has featured top artists including Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, Ingrid Andress, Hardy, Gary Clark, Jr., Amanda Shires, and more.

BMI’s Lollapalooza stage premiered in 2006 and has seen the likes of X Ambassadors, Bebe Rexha, Cage the Elephant, MAX and Sofi Tukker grace its stage, to name a few.
