Everywhere At Once Festival Brings 2,000 Acts to UK Grassroots Venues

The Everywhere At Once festival, organized by the Music Venue Trust, is set to take place from June 26-28 and will showcase more than 2,000 performers, including Becky Hill, Rizzle Kicks, Inspiral Carpets, Divine Comedy, The Lathums, Fatboy Slim, D Double E, and Tinie Tempah. Events will occur in intimate local venues throughout the UK, such as the Marrs Bar in Worcester, which holds 250 people, and the Pipeline in Brighton, accommodating 60. The festival seeks to underscore the importance of grassroots venues, as 37% of UK clubs have shut down since the pandemic, with over half operating at a loss last year and 6,000 jobs lost due to changes in business rates and national insurance. Tinie Tempah will perform in Newcastle, Norwich, and Southampton, highlighting the loss of three nightclubs monthly. Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze will perform on the Theatreship in Canary Wharf, London. Additionally, Harry Styles is contributing £1 from each ticket sold during his 12-night residency at Wembley Stadium to the Music Venue Trust, generating over £900,000, with support from Wolf Alice. The festival is made possible with backing from the National Lottery.
