Apply to Perform at the Festival
The African Music and Cultural Festival stage is a powerful platform for artists to share their talent, culture and stories with tens of thousands of people in the heart of Melbourne.
Over three vibrant days, performers become part of Australia’s largest African cultural celebration, inspiring audiences and building connections that last well beyond the festival.
Many artists who have graced the AMCF stage have gone on to enjoy highly successful careers, making it a true launchpad for emerging and established talent alike.
Artist applications for 2025 are now closed.
Expression of Interest for 2026 will be open from February 2026.
