EU funded
Live DMA has secured renewed support from Creative Europe for 2025-2028. This funding allows us to continue strengthening live music venues, clubs, and festivals across Europe. This support reaffirms the vital role of live music in our cultural fabric and provides the resources to meet the sector’s needs head-on. Together, we can build a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable future for live music.
