Join Iceland Music at WOMEX 2025
22–26 October 2025 in Tampere, Finland

Iceland Music is heading to WOMEX this October and is looking for two Icelandic music professionals to join the delegation. This is a fantastic opportunity to expand your network and promote yourself and your projects at the world’s leading global music event.

WOMEX - the World Music Expo - has been held annually since 1994 and travels between European cities. Last year it took place in Manchester, UK, and this year it will be held in Tampere, Finland. The event is both a major festival for global music in Europe and one of the largest professional conferences in the industry. Each autumn, around 3,000 professionals and artists from over 90 countries come together for this vibrant international gathering, which aims to support the sustainable development of the global music scene with a focus on diversity, cultural heritage, and innovation.

What’s included?
Selected participants will receive a travel grant from the Music Fund of up to 75,000 ISK per person, access to the festival and conference, and an invitation to a networking event hosted by Iceland Music in collaboration with Nordic partners.

Who should apply?
We’re looking for professionals working in the Icelandic music sector. This includes musicians, label reps, agents, bookers, publishers, festivals, concert promoters, and more. Priority will be given to those working with export-ready projects that have a clear international focus and an interest in building connections across European markets.

Registration
The application deadline is 8 August. Register here
