The goal of Garáž is to provide bands with a platform to showcase their talent. In the music industry, such an event is known as a showcase festival – meaning that in addition to inviting all of you, we also invite professionals from the music industry. They can listen to the bands live, invite them to perform at their clubs or festivals, or offer them collaboration opportunities for album releases.
Besides their own concert, bands will also have the chance to improve through an educational block taking place on September 7, 2024. Various topics related to the music industry will be taught by music professionals. This year, in cooperation with the Norwegian Funds, two Garáž participants had the opportunity to perform at the Norwegian UKM festival.
