All Things Go – New York, NY – September 25-27, 2026
All Things Go Music Festival and TikTok LIVE announced a new partnership tied to TikTok’s global live music competition, Music on Stage, providing music creators on the platform an opportunity to amplify their original sounds and connect with new audiences from one of music’s fastest-growing festivals: All Things Go, held September 25-27 in New York.
The competition will culminate in the grand prize U.S. winner taking center stage to perform a set at All Things Go NYC, alongside some of music’s biggest artists, including Zara Larsson, Lola Young, MUNA, Carly Rae Jepsen, Brandi Carlile, Sienna Spiro, The Beaches and more.
The collaboration offers music creators an unprecedented launchpad from in-app to the stage, a rare chance to share their original artistry with a global community and be discovered in front of one of the industry’s most closely watched crowds.
The competition will be captured through TikTok’s global music program, Music on Stage, with submissions now open. Artists will compete live on TikTok throughout August for a spot in the regional finals, which will take place live on Friday, August 28, and feature Lizzy Plapinger, performing artist of LPX and MS MR fame, co-founder of Neon Gold Records and All Things Go advisor, as a guest judge.
“Creating opportunities for new voices has always been fundamental to All Things Go, making this collaboration with TikTok a natural fit. Discovering and supporting emerging artists has been a throughline of my career, and I’m excited to help spotlight an artist for the chance to perform on the festival’s New York stage,” said Lizzy Plapinger of All Things Go.
“On TikTok LIVE, emerging artists are building real communities and connecting with global audiences in real time, turning everyday moments into the foundation of a career,” said Shen Gao, Head of LIVE Operations, Americas at TikTok. “Through Music on Stage, our partnership with All Things Go Music Festival gives creators the chance to share the stage alongside some of the biggest names in music, elevating their artistic journeys and giving them a platform to showcase their talent on one of music’s fastest-growing festivals.”
