What happens when artists, venues and communities pull in the same direction…

Long after the posters have come down and the room looks different, there's always one venue that stays with them. The place where they first felt like a band. The same is true for the rest of us.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. For many venues, tribute shows can provide a valuable source of income, helping keep the doors open in an increasingly challenging landscape. Grassroots music venues remain the place where original artists develop, experiment and build their audiences.

Every artist has an origin story. This is where theirs began.

Plug in > position > ready to go! It’s as simple as that. Quick to set up, easy to use, and working quietly behind the scenes.

The funny thing about a music scene is that nobody notices it's becoming one. At the time, it's just somewhere you keep going back to. Only later do you realise you were watching something take shape.

Brighton, this one's for you. ❤️ The Pipeline has officially been secured by Music Venue Properties. With the support of Brighton's very own Fatboy Slim, another grassroots music venue now has a future protected for generations to come.

We're thrilled to announce that The Pipeline in Brighton is now community owned, becoming the 10th grassroots music venue to be permanently protected through our Own Our Venues campaign.

A venue can be talked about by thousands of people and still be gone tomorrow - because attention is not the same as action. Hype can make something feel important in a moment. But it doesn’t keep the doors open. It doesn’t make sure the next night happens.

What does a better future for Glasgow after dark look like? Nightshift Glasgow is bringing together grassroots venues, artists, promoters, audiences and city stakeholders to explore how the city's night time culture can be supported, strengthened and sustained for the future.

Grassroots music venues aren't just places to protect when they're in trouble. They're places to invest in, improve and help thrive.

The atmosphere, the connection and the chance to share live music up close with the people in the room, especially with those who flew 4,000 miles!

With the World Cup finals amping up, it feels like a good week to remember that the biggest moments are built by people taking part. It's what happens when something matters enough for people to keep turning up for it. Grassroots music is no different.
