2023 CMA Fest

Publicist Credential Application


WHEN IS CMA FEST?

CMA Fest is Thursday – Sunday, June 8 – 11, 2023 in downtown Nashville. CMA Fest is a production of the Country Music Association.


WHO NEEDS TO REGISTER FOR CREDENTIALS?

Any publicist who will be working with an artist at an official CMA Fest outdoor stage (Nissan Stadium, Chevy Riverfront Stage, Dr Pepper Amp Stage, Chevy Vibes Stage and Maui Jim Reverb Stage) must register for a publicist credential.


If your artist is ONLY appearing at Fan Fair X inside Music City Center (including Close Up Stage, Spotlight Stage or meet & greets), you will not register for a publicist credential here. You will be credentialed with your artist on-site each day at the Music City Center Artist Check-in. Additional details regarding Fan Fair X credentials and meet & greet information (if your artist is confirmed) will be provided at a later date.


WHAT ABOUT THE ARTIST'S FAMILY, MANAGER, BOOKING AGENT, MUSICIANS OR OTHER PEOPLE AT THE RECORD LABEL?

They will need to request credentials through the artist advance that has been sent to management. Please contact the CMA Live Events department with questions at LiveEvents@cmaworld.com.


PARKING/SHUTTLES

One complimentary parking pass per company will be distributed to publicists who have artists performing at the nightly concerts at Nissan Stadium. There are a limited number of parking passes available and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Parking passes are only good for the night your artist is performing at Nissan Stadium. Please be sure to provide a complete list of artists you are working with in the application below so we can provide proper parking placards.


MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES

We will offer media opportunities at all official CMA Fest stages, as well as the Media Rooms inside Music City Center. All artists who are performing or appearing at these venues can participate in media opportunities. Feel free to contact the CMA Communications team at CMApress@cmaworld.com for more information or with any questions.


PLEASE SUBMIT APPLICATIONS NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, MAY 19.


Every publicist who will be working at CMA Fest must be credentialed. One publicist per company may be credentialed for each artist.


REMINDER: This application is for publicists only. Artist's families, booking agents, managers, musicians, publishers, record label employees (except for publicists), road managers, etc. should not use this registration for CMA Fest credentials. Please contact CMA Live Event Department at LiveEvents@cmaworld.com if you have further credential questions.


Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee approval. You will receive a notification regarding the status of your credential request by mid-May.

 

Publicist credentials are non-transferable and are only to be used to fulfill job duties. The name on your publicist credential must match a government issued photo ID. If a person is caught wearing a credential that does not match their photo ID, the credential will be held by CMA Communications until it is claimed. Photo ID must be presented to reclaim any held credentials and must always remain with the credentialed individual.


COMPANY AND CONTACT INFORMATION

Please list the contact information for the person responsible for submitting your company's credentials. Please include the names of all publicists from your company who require credentials at the bottom of the form.
