The “Festival Funding Program” is aimed at music festivals nationwide.
Music festivals offer artists an important platform for free artistic presentation, professionalization, and their careers through direct contact with audiences. Artistic freedom is therefore the starting point of this program and remains central to its design. At music festivals, artists can develop their artistic profile, try out new things, and connect with their audience. Music festivals also hold economic potential, making them an indispensable part of the music scene and music industry, as well as the cultural and creative industries as a whole, for organizers and booking agencies alike, as the 2025 festival study shows. Festivals also serve an important social function. Especially in rural areas, festivals are often the only cultural offering and inspiring places outside of everyday life, serving as anchor points for a democratic community.
