Deadline: February 4, 2018

Planning a music tour but unsure how to fund it? Apply to Concerts SA’s Music Mobility Fund which will select new projects to support in February. This tour support mechanism offers opportunities for professional South African musicians to undertake live music tours in South Africa as well as other Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries. The fund provides support to live music performances, collaborations and performance-based workshops across all music genres.

More than 700 musicians have successfully toured across the nine South African provinces as well as 10 countries in southern Africa (Botswana, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, Namibia and Madagascar), playing more than 800 shows to over 50,000 people, spanning genres from folk to hip-hop, from gqomto punk-rock, from jazz to indigenous music, in formal and informal music venues and spaces. For a list of all venues that have hosted a CSA-supported show visit the website for a comprehensive music map at www.concertssa.co.za
