GrindCon 2026 Artist Submissions are officially open. Submit your music for the opportunity to take the GrindCon stage or be selected for the official GrindCon Annual Playlist.
Submit your music for consideration to become one of the artists selected to perform live at GrindCon 2026.
Selected or not, your $100 performance submission includes free general admission to the GrindCon 2026 conference (Boston · Oct 24) and Creator Camp. Submit your music — you're in the room either way.
Submit your song for consideration for the official GrindCon Annual Playlist, curated by the GrindCon + eXpozedTV team.
Real artists. Real stages. Every year GrindCon puts independent talent in front of the community and the industry — this could be you next.
The Grind Jam Session Playlist has been part of GrindCon's commitment to discovering and amplifying independent music. For GrindCon 2026, we're expanding where that discovery can lead — connecting selected music to our events, industry listening opportunities and broader music network.
GrindCon connects emerging artists with the people building, discovering and moving music forward.
Submissions are initially reviewed and selected by the GrindCon + eXpozedTV team. Selected playlist music enters GrindCon's listening and feedback programming with participating music-industry professionals.
Artists don't have to choose between the two opportunities. Submit for 01 / Performance consideration and/or 02 / Annual Playlist consideration. These are separate submissions and separate transactions.
We're looking for artists with strong music, a distinct identity and something worth putting in front of our community. Independent artists. Emerging artists. Artists building without a major machine behind them. Artists ready to get their music into new rooms.
