From 26-28 June 2026, Everywhere At Once will take over more than 400 grassroots music venues nationwide. The three-day event coincides with what would traditionally be Glastonbury weekend. Instead of one location, the festival will unfold across towns and cities throughout the UK. Music lovers can enjoy live performances without travelling far from home. Powered by The National Lottery and Music Venue Trust, the event celebrates the venues that keep Britain’s music scene thriving.
Big Names, Intimate Spaces
The line-up features some of the UK’s most recognisable artists. Fatboy Slim, Becky Hill, Tinie Tempah, Rizzle Kicks, Glenn Tilbrook and The Lathums are all set to perform. They will be joined by The Divine Comedy, Toddla T, Lucy Spraggan, Gene, D Double E, P Money and Jodie Harsh. More than 2,000 artists will appear across the weekend. Performances will span indie, rock, pop, grime, electronic, jazz, folk, soul and punk. The festival offers something for every music fan. What makes the event unique is its setting. Audiences will experience major artists in intimate grassroots venues.
Celebrating Grassroots Music
Grassroots venues play a vital role in the UK’s cultural landscape. Many of today’s headline acts began their careers in small local venues. These spaces allow artists to develop their skills and build loyal audiences. Fatboy Slim understands their importance. “Grassroots venues are where it all started for me,” he said. “They’re where artists learn their craft and communities come together.” The festival aims to highlight that contribution. It also encourages music fans to support local venues.
Supporting the Next Generation
Established performers will share the spotlight with emerging talent. This creates opportunities for audiences to discover new artists. It also gives rising musicians valuable exposure. The National Lottery’s support helps make this possible. Lottery players have helped contribute more than £1 billion to music projects across the UK. The funding supports venues, promoters and future talent.
A Weekend to Explore
Everywhere At Once offers more than great music. It provides the perfect excuse for a weekend away. Visitors can explore local restaurants, bars and attractions before heading to a gig. Each venue brings its own atmosphere and character. No two festival experiences will be the same. Whether you’re planning a city break or a local night out, there is plenty to discover.
Music with a Purpose
The festival will also support several important charities. Audiences can contribute to War Child, Nordoff and Robbins, Help Musicians and Teenage Cancer Trust. By attending, music fans can support both local venues and worthy causes.
The Soundtrack of Summer
Everywhere At Once is more than a festival. It is a nationwide celebration of live music. For one weekend, artists, venues and communities will come together. The result promises to be one of the most exciting cultural events of the summer.
