The Music Venue Trust and The National Lottery have announced ‘Everywhere At Once’, billed as The UK’s Biggest Festival on what would normally have been Glastonbury Festival Weekend which would see 210,000 revellers, workers, artists and performers enjoy a week of music. Imagine if that many people got involved with grass roots venues across the country.
There press release states: “Taking place on what would have been the Glastonbury Festival weekend of 26 to 28 June 2026, hundreds of grassroots music venues across the country will unite for Everywhere At Once. For one extraordinary weekend, venues from Inverness to Penzance will stand shoulder-to-shoulder, transforming towns, cities and high streets into the biggest nationwide stage the UK has ever seen. Major artists, touring acts and the most exciting emerging local talent will perform in the spaces that have launched generations of musicians.This is not a festival in a field. It’s a festival on your doorstep, no tent required. Forget the trek, the traffic and the campsites. This summer’s most exciting live music experience is coming to a venue near you.”
