Brampton Arts Organization and Brampton On Stage have joined forces to launch the Live Music Support Program.

The Live Music Support Program aims to provide financial support to help Brampton-based musicians and bands to cover the expenses gathered when performing at local, provincial, national and international festivals and industry showcase opportunities.

The program wants to empower and support Brampton musicians to take on the risk of touring and performing in venues, festivals and showcases throughout the GTA and beyond. Not only will this benefit the individual musician’s career but also highlight the musical and creative talent emerging from Brampton!

Brampton-based musicians and bands may be eligible to receive up to $1,000 Canadian (+HST if applicable) in financial support to help with the costs associated with their participation in music festivals and industry showcases, such as travel, accommodation, and festival fees.

Currently, the 2025 fund has nearly $10,000 to allocate to applicants and supported projects have included provincial tours, local concerts, GTA based festival appearances and much more.
