LIVEfund
Get your live gigs funded by POP Office!
Got your live dates lined up for this year, but the cost of travel, equipment and lodging is a challenge? The POP Office funds you so that you have something left over from your fee at the end! The POP Office’s LIVEfund supports musicians residing in the state of Bremen in their performances outside of their home turf. Ziel ist es, Nachwuchsmusiker:innen und Semiprofis (auch DJs!) Gigs in ganz Deutschland zu ermöglichen.
For a maximum funding of 1.000 € you can apply for partial funding per performance.
