615 Indie Live, a celebration of Nashville’s independent music venues and local artists, will return for its third year on Jan. 30, 2027 and has officially opened its artist submission portal.

Artists interested in performing at the 2027 festival can now submit through the festival’s online application portal. A full lineup and ticket information will be announced at a later date.

“Independent venues are where tomorrow’s artists get their start, and they’re a big reason a trip to Music City feels so authentic,” says Deana Ivey, president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “We’re proud to continue supporting 615 Indie Live because it celebrates our local artists and independent venues while helping both visitors and locals discover the music experiences that make Nashville unlike anywhere else.”

“We’re thrilled to bring back 615 Indie Live for a third year, and are always looking for ways to make it even more valuable to Nashville’s independent music community,” adds Chris Cobb, Co-Producer of 615 Indie Live and Director of Music Venue Alliance Nashville. “In 2027, that means continuing to help audiences discover incredible local artists and independent venues, while expanding the partnerships that make the festival stronger and its impact even greater. At the end of the day, every ticket sold helps us invest back into the community that makes Music City special.”
