The Music Venue Trust has partnered with The National Lottery to launch a new nationwide music festival project aimed at supporting grassroots music venues.
Everywhere At Once, spread out across the final June weekend on which Glastonbury would usually take place, will see music venues up and down the UK put on a series of special gigs, covering major artists, touring acts and emerging local talent. The project has also been launched with the support of pressure groups Save Our Scene and Association of Independent Promoters.
In a statement, Mark Davyd, CEO of Music Venue Trust, said: “This is a hugely significant moment for the grassroots music sector. Seeing hundreds of venues come together across one weekend shows the true strength and scale of the network that underpins live music in the UK. Thanks to the support from The National Lottery, Everywhere At Once can pair visibility with meaningful, practical support, putting real investment directly into venues while amplifying their collective voice.
“Together, this sends a clear message: live music doesn’t just happen in major cities or festival fields – it happens on our high streets, in our towns, and in the spaces communities rely on. This is what solidarity looks like in action, and it sets a powerful benchmark for what we can achieve when venues move forward together.”
Full event and venue breakdowns will be confirmed in the coming months.
Everywhere At Once will take place from 26 to 28 June 2026. Find more information here.
