Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
