The health and well-being of our customers and communities is of utmost importance to us. We understand the concern and uncertainty you may be experiencing surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19). We remain positive and are hopeful that global actions will bring a swift end to this situation and you and yours have remained healthy.

While we are doing our best to reach out to events that may be effected and updating events in our system as best that we are able, FestivalNet will not always be notified when an event makes changes. While it is always our  suggestion to verify details before making travel plans, it is especially important now. Call, email or check your event's website & social media for the latest information on whether the show is still a go!

Check this page for event cancellations in your state.

Your safety is important to us. So, please take precautions while attending events of any size. Find suggestions from the Centers for Disease Control.






While it is unclear how long the restrictions will last, we are hopeful that these precautions will keep the time as short as possible.

As you may be aware, FestivalNet is undergoing some design changes that should be live in the next few weeks. We will be highlighting our members stores and profiles to continuously bring more value to your FestivalNet membership.

We wish you all a very successful year.

Funding for musicians: music grants in the USA

posted January 22, 2020   category » covid-19

There are dozens of organizations in the USA which regularly award cash to serious artists, allowing the recipients to focus entirely on furthering their music career in some way. And unlike loans, they don't need to be paid back.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Wrong! These funding opportunities are out there for the taking, but they're very competitive. You'll need to research which ones are a good fit for you, find out when the deadlines are, and set aside plenty of time for the application process, which can be intense.

Some music grant organizations exist to help out fledgling artists, while others support more established artists. Depending on the type of grant, the funding could be used to get a new music project off the ground, record an album, or tour. Some organizations place no restrictions at all on how you can use the money.

Here are seven of our favorite music grants available in the United States to get your wheels turning. But definitely check out local opportunities in your own city or state, you never know what you might come across.
