Grassroots music venues across the nation will be coming together for one epic weekend on June 26-28th, 2026
Powered by The National Lottery and Music Venue Trust, Everywhere At Once is the UK’s biggest music festival…happening right on your doorstep. From June 26-28th 2026, grassroots music venues across the nation will be coming together for one epic weekend. Taking place on what would have been the Glastonbury Festival weekend, more than 400 grassroots music venues will stage hundreds of live music events featuring more than 2000 artists.
Bands and artists including Fatboy Slim, Becky Hill, Rizzle Kicks, Tinie Tempah, Glenn Tilbrook, The Lathums, The Divine Comedy, Toddla T, Jodie Harsh, Master Peace, Inspiral Carpets, Dave McCabe, Lucy Spraggan, Chris Helme, Gene, D Double E, P Money, Westside Cowboy, and many more are set to play the biggest celebration of grassroots live music ever staged in the UK.
Representing the full spectrum of the UK’s music scene, from dance and electronic music to indie, rock, grime, pop, jazz, folk, punk, soul and more, Everywhere At Once showcases the extraordinary diversity and creativity thriving in grassroots venues across the country. Supported by the National Lottery, established artists will perform intimate grassroots venue shows alongside emerging local talent and breakthrough new acts, highlighting the vital role these venues play in developing the next generation of British music.
This summer’s biggest live music weekend is happening in a venue near you. Everywhere At Once is more than a line-up of gigs. It’s a national moment to celebrate the grassroots music ecosystem.
Fatboy Slim said; “I’ve been lucky enough to play huge stages all over the world, but grassroots venues are where it all started for me and where music scenes really begin, where artists learn their craft, where communities form, and where people come together purely for the love of it. Without grassroots venues, independent promoters and local crowds taking a chance on something new, none of this exists.”
“These spaces are vital for culture and for local communities, so if there’s anything I can do to help shine a light on them and help keep that spirit alive, I’m more than happy to be involved. And if you care about music, go out and support your local venues, buy a ticket, discover somebody new, and be part of keeping those scenes alive.”
Everywhere At Once will be delivered by Music Venue Trust alongside Save Our Scene and the Association of Independent Promoters, bringing the grassroots network together for a shared national moment of live music. Audiences will also be given the opportunity to support a range of exceptional and vital music charities, with donations supporting War Child, Nordoff and Robbins, Help Musicians and Teenage Cancer Trust.
For three days, the artists play, the venues host, the nation listens. Closer to the music, where local matters, where everyone belongs. Here at Punktuation! we are fully behind supporting your local grassroots venues and artists – you never know when you might discover your new favourite band!

Usually found jumping around down the front at gigs, I also relish taking photos and videos, singing, speaking with fellow music fans, and asking musicians the questions nobody else does. Writing about my favourite bands and connecting with people who love music too keeps me more-or-less sane! I’ve worked for over 25 years at a video production company, mainly filming live music events, therefore I have an additional backstage perspective on the scene.
