Fort Worth is full of great music venues and a new state program will provide up to $100,000 to help bring more concerts to the area.

Applicants must meet several criteria including:
- Subject to mixed beverage gross receipts tax or sales tax for beer or wine
- A music venue with a capacity of under 3,000 people.
- A music festival promoter and held an event in a county of less than 100,000
- Compensate performance artists
