About
We are happy to announce that the YEG STAGE live music program will soon be accepting applications for the 2026-2027 season!

Live music is a wonderful addition to the airport's ambiance and is enjoyed by both passengers and employees. Here are some important details about the program: 

  • YEG will be selecting 20 partner musicians to perform in the terminal.
  • Solo musicians are most appropriate for simplicity, but other formats will be considered.
  • These will be paid 2-hour family-friendly musical performances ($220/performance) with paid parking. Artists may also accept tips and sell CDs.  
  • PA, mic stands, and cables are provided (HK Polar). Artists must bring their own mic and instruments. 
  • Most performances will be post-security, so chosen artists must be 18+ and commit to the security screening process through Transport Canada. To learn more about the airport security screening process, please visit this link.
  • We ask that artists commit to performing three times per month. Please note that if an artist does not participate for two consecutive months, they will be removed from the program.
  • The program will run from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.
  • In addition to regular performances, YEG hosts a Runway 12 Music Festival on July 2 and 3rd, 2026. We ask that all chosen artists perform as part of the festival.
  • Applications are accepted by creating a Stagehand profile and applying to this program. Please ensure that, at a minimum, your profile includes: 
  • Headline
  • Bio
  • Press-ready photos
  • Socials, website, and links to music 
  • Feature video of the musician performing
  • Applications will open on March 9th, 2026 and close at 5 pm on March 27th, 2026. 
  • From March 27th to April 17th, a panel of judges will review applications and make their selections. 
  • Successful applicants will be contacted on April 17th. 

The Live Music Program Team would like to wish you all the best of luck with your applications, and we hope to see you in the coming months!

Sincerely,

YEG Music Team
