CRS 2026 Announces New ‘Scareoke’ Competition

“Scareoke” will be hosted by CMA and ACM award-winning personality Patrick Thomas, and will give attendees the chance to compete for a complimentary CRS 2027 registration. Interested participants must sign up in advance here, and the event promises an hour of industry camaraderie and performances from country radio and music professionals alike. The first 50 drinks during the fun-filled competition will be provided courtesy of Shelley Lynch.

Online registration for CRS 2026 has closed, but on-site registration will be available at the current rate of $799 through the start of the event. A limited number of New Faces of Country Music tickets remain available for $110 and are sold separately. Special rates will also continue to be offered, including a $199 student rate for currently enrolled students and $349 day passes (limit two per person), which provide full access to all programming, sessions, panels, speakers, networking events, and luncheons for a single day.
