SUBMIT TO GLOBALFEST 2021
Submissions are now open for globalFEST 2021! The upcoming globalFEST festival will take place in New York City on January 10, 2021, attracting music industry professionals, media, and music fans. Following their participation in gF, artists have gone on to tour North America at venues such as Hollywood Bowl, Lincoln Center, Bonnaroo, Coachella, The Kennedy Center, SXSW, the Apollo Theater and hundreds of other theaters and festivals. Tours and cultural exchanges that result from gF showcases have helped to build an ever-widening audience for global music and by extension, an increase in international cooperation and collaboration.

Nina Westervelt for The New York Times

"This year’s Globalfest, the 17th, was the most manic and clamorous of them all, a lineup of musicians demanding attention with speed, rhythm, passion, humor, costumes, dance moves and the determination to hold on to particular cultural heritages in a connected world." - Jon Pareles, NYT

PRESS FROM GLOBALFEST 2020


"Want to shake up your music habits and find something out of your usual box? That's just what globalFEST does for me every year. GlobalFEST brings twelve bands from all over the world to New York City's Copacabana for a single night, and it's a thrill ride." - Bob Boilen, NPR
