Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is a gathering place, a launch point and a safe space for everyone who visits.
On Monday afternoon, YEG officially welcomed back their well-known live music program, with a new and improved sense of community.
The submission process for musicians interested in the program is now open until April 24, 2023.
YEG Stage is welcoming musicians from around the region to submit their audition to a community-led panel of judges. The panel will choose 20 performers to be part of a year-long program to play live at YEG on a regular basis. Performers will receive $220 per each two-hour timeslot, as well as complimentary parking during their performance at YEG.
YEG’s Live Music Program is intended to assist emerging musicians by offering a venue for them to showcase their music at the airport and through the airport’s social media channels.
“Music is a sense of community, and it’s also great for the airport. It gives folks something soothing. It’s similar to our pet therapy program. Music is just comforting, and it’s enjoyable as you’re waiting for your aircraft.”
You can visit the airport website to apply.
