Grant News
Help Musicians has launched Fast Track Live, offering grants of £500 to £1,000 to help working and early-career musicians take advantage of significant live performance opportunities.
Help Musicians is a charity that provides career, financial and wellbeing support to musicians across the UK.
Funding can support tours, festivals, showcases, support slots and other live performances taking place within six months. Eligible costs include travel, accommodation, rehearsals, equipment, production and marketing. Successful applicants also receive a two-hour career clinic with a live music specialist.
Key highlights:
• UK musicians actively developing sustainable careers can apply.
• Applicants normally need at least 40% of their income from music over the previous two years, reduced to 20% for musicians with a long-term health condition or disability.
• Grants: £500–£1,000.
• Applicants must have control over aspects of their career, such as self-management or self-releasing.
Applications are made online via the Help Musicians website, and the current funding round closes at 5pm on 9 October 2026. A second round is due to run from 19 October to 20 November 2026.
