Attitude is Everything have produced a DIY Access Guide which is a collection of ‘top tip’ lists and easy to follow ‘gig hacks’ to help any band, artist or promoter link up with a venue to make a gig as accessible as possible, even if a stage is up or down a flight of stairs.

2024 remained a tough and challenging climate for Grassroots Music Venues (GMVs), with over 200 venues, 24.9% of the entire sector, needing to reach out to the charity for support to avoid permanent closure. Music Venue Trust (MVT) offered planning, licensing, noise, acoustics, and legal advice to GMVs across the UK, directly responding to a broad range of key issues facing venues and increased their support for the financial challenges that pose the most significant risk to the sustainability and resilience of the grassroots network.

Read the 2024 Annual Report now below to see how MVT are backing artists, venues, and communities across the country.

Read the results from the Music Fans Voice survey, the first of its kind to give gig-goers a direct say in shaping the future of live music in the UK.
