The sobering reality that only 11 of the 34 grassroots music venues that Oasis played on their first tour still exist today. Gone are 23 spaces that took a punt on a new band from Manchester who would become one of the most iconic in British music history. That's 23 communities that aren't getting the chance to hear the chords of the next 'Definitely Maybe' for the first time. Let’s protect the sacred live music spaces we have in the UK, ensuring that both fans and the next generation of superstars have the same opportunities Oasis had.

The recent cancellation of arena tours, as covered by GQ Magazine last week, highlights a growing issue in the music industry: the struggle to sell out large venues. While artists like Taylor Swift thrive, many others, including legacy and contemporary acts, face dwindling ticket sales, forcing them to downsize or cancel shows.

These intimate settings foster stronger connections with fans, ensuring a better experiences for both performers and audiences. Something fans remember for the rest of their lives.
