New Programmes for Musicboard’s Project Funding

Musicboard’s 2027 project funding programmes will open for applications at the end of October this year. The application deadline has been moved back by one month to 1 December 2026, with projects able to start from 1 February 2027 at the earliest.

The 2027 application round also marks a new direction for the project funding programmes. Over the past few months, the three existing programmes – Festival Funding, Karrieresprungbrett Berlin and Pop im Kiez – have been comprehensively evaluated and revised. The aim is to ensure that the Musicboard project funding continues to reflect the changing needs of Berlin’s music scene. The new programmes will be more accessible, cover a broader range of projects, and be simpler to apply for. The funding remains open to all event organisers and live music venues in Berlin.

Save the date: The new programmes will be presented to the public on 2 November 2026 at silent green. Register here for the event
