The 11th Annual Oh My Ears (OME) New Music Festival will take place March 28-30, 2025 at multiple venues in Downtown Phoenix. Applications are due by Friday, December 8th, 2024 at 11:59pm (MST). Applicants from any state in the U.S. as well as international artists are welcome to apply! There is no application fee.
We expect everyone to be responsible and professional. We expect prospective artists to be detailed and honest in completing their applications. We ask our artists to do their best to help promote their participation in our festival and use their social media presence to promote what they’re doing at OME - we will provide social media cards to make this an easy task. We expect artists to respond to communications in a timely manner so that we can keep things running smoothly.
