YEG Stage is open for performers’ submissions!
April 3, 2023 (Edmonton, AB) – Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is a gathering place, a launch point and a safe space for everyone who visits. YEG is excited to welcome back their well-known live music program, with a new and improved sense of community. The submission process for musicians interested in the program is now open until April 24, 2023.
YEG’s Live Music Program – YEG Stage (previously EIA Live) – is welcoming musicians from around the region to submit their audition to a community-led panel of judges. The panel will choose 20 performers to be part of a year-long program to play live at YEG on a regular basis. Performers will receive $220 per each two-hour timeslot, as well as complimentary parking during their performance at YEG.
“YEG values the contributions that musicians in our region bring to passengers, employees and visitors to the airport. We heard from our community, listened, reflected and took action to make sure our live music program is fair, equitable and a beneficial addition to the community.”
In 2020, the program was put on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2023, the program was relaunched to our community, and YEG received some feedback on the program’s viability. After a careful, thoughtful and thorough review process with members of the arts community in the region to determine how to move forward in a fair and equitable way, YEG is relaunching the program under a new compensation model for performers.
YEG’s Live Music Program is intended to assist emerging musicians by offering a venue for them to showcase their music at the airport and through the airport’s social media channels. The program has been and will continue to be a celebration of the arts in our region.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
