Allocation of Funding: Support Tour Funding – 2nd Half of 2025

In the second half of 2025, Musicboard Berlin awards a total of 24,926.00 euros for support tour projects of Berlin bands and artists. In total, 28 artists received 55,922.24 euros through this funding programme in 2025.

Musicboard’s Support Tour Funding programme supports up-and-coming Berlin pop musicians in their plans to go on national or international tour with a more established act. To be on tour with a headlining act for a longer period, generally exceeds the financial budget of younger bands. This is where the Support Tour Funding comes in, enabling the support act to expand its audience and gain live experiences. The funding is awarded as a purpose-specific scholarship.
