I am running a crowdfunder campaign to raise funds for our music festival 24:1900. I am also readying a separate grant application.

For those that don't know, 24:1900 is our 24-hour online music festival designed to support independent artists from around the globe, to help them spread their music widely and sustainably. 24:1900 is unique - 24 artists, 24 time zones, all performing at 7pm local time over a 24-hour time.

For the 2026 edition, we are moving from a ticketed event to a free YouTube (other platforms are available) livestream. To do so, we need to raise funds to pay artists upfront - this will cover their production costs and appearance fees.

The rest of the funds that we raise will be handed to a PR agency that has experience in promoting music festivals.

We have 11 reward tiers available for those who can afford to help. This ranges from being part and parcel of the 24:1900 livestream on the night to being an ‘Independent Music Supporting Wonder’ who tip jars us.

I would also be grateful for any shares so that we can continue to support the independent music community.
