Missing Glastonbury? There's a festival on your doorstep this weekend
With Glastonbury taking a fallow year, the 'Everywhere At Once' festival is launching across the UK to support struggling grassroots music venues. The initiative features over 2,000 acts performing in small local clubs to highlight the existential threat facing the UK's live music scene.
Why it matters
The UK's grassroots music sector is facing a significant decline in profitability and venue closures, making local support vital for the survival of the live music ecosystem.
