‘All Things Go’ and ‘TikTok LIVE’ name ‘Las Hermanas Machado’ winners of  ‘Music on Stage US Regional Finals’ Sending the Cuban sister trio to the ‘NYC Festival’, sharing the bill with Carly Rae Jepsen, MUNA, The Beaches and more

All Things Go Music Festival and TikTok LIVE today announced the grand prize winners of Music on Stage US Regional Finals, TikTok’s global live music competition: @lasmachadoofficial, a Cuban sister trio based in Miami, who built their following on TikTok LIVE. The win earns the group a coveted performance slot at All Things Go New York, taking place at Forest Hills Stadium September 25–27, 2026 – turning a competition built for the app into a real festival performance opportunity.

Las Hermanas Machado will take the stage next Sunday, September 27, opening for a lineup that includes names like Carly Rae Jepsen, MUNA, The Beaches, and more.

For All Things Go, that outcome is the entire point of the partnership. Since its founding in 2011, the festival has staked its reputation not only on marquee headliners but on a genuine commitment to discovering new artists and giving them a real shot in front of a live crowd – the kind of opportunity that no amount of online reach can substitute for. “Creating opportunities for new voices has always been fundamental to All Things Go, making this collaboration with TikTok a natural fit,” said Lizzy Plapinger of All Things Go. “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.”

That’s the gap this partnership was built to close: the distance between an artist who has built a real community online and an artist who has actually stood in front of a crowd. On TikTok LIVE, emerging musicians are connecting with global audiences in real time, night after night.

Music on Stage exists to carry that momentum the rest of the way, off the app and onto a stage. “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.”

Meet the winners, in their own words:
“We are Las Hermanas Machado – Cesia, Keren, and Jemimah – three Cuban sisters who grew up with very humble beginnings. Still, by God’s grace, we never gave up on our love for music.

After leaving Cuba and experiencing more of the world, we discovered TikTok LIVE. Today, our music carries our faith, our Cuban roots, our sisterhood, and the story of three girls who continued believing in their dream even when the path forward was not clear.”

The group rose to the top of a competition that ran throughout August, with artists competing live on TikTok for a spot in the regional finals, held Friday, August 28, and judged in part by Lizzy Plapinger. From there, @lasmachadoofficial advanced to become the U.S. Regional Finals grand prize winner –  earning the festival slot that puts them on stage next weekend.
