Fatboy Slim, D Double E, P Money, Becky Hill and many more have been confirmed for Music Venue Trust‘s ambitious new UK-wide grassroots venue festival, Everywhere At Once. The three-day event will run from 26th to 28th June, staging more than 1,000 gigs by over 2,000 artists across independent venues all over the United Kingdom.
The British DJ-producer headlines what is now one of the most ambitious grassroots-venue lineups the country has seen in years. The expanded billing also includes headline performances from D Double E, P Money and Squeeze frontman Glenn Tilbrook, joining previously announced names like Becky Hill and Tinie Tempah.
The British rave legend also took the time to speak about why the cause matters to him personally. “These spaces are vital for culture and for local communities, so if there’s anything I can do to help, I will,” he said in a statement supporting the festival.
A festival built around saving grassroots venues
The British venue charity timed Everywhere At Once deliberately. The festival runs across the same weekend that Glastonbury would have taken place, with the Worthy Farm flagship observing its 2026 fallow year. By stepping into that gap with a fully decentralised UK-wide programme, Music Venue Trust is making a direct case for the cultural value of independent venues at the exact moment when the biggest stage in British music takes a break.
The British charity has also confirmed specific venue allocations across the run. P Money is set to perform at Birmingham’s Suki10c venue on 26th June, with D Double E also locked in across the weekend. Fans can find all events near them via the official Everywhere At Once website.
Part of a wider grassroots venue rescue effort
The Music Venue Trust festival was launched in partnership with Save Our Scene and the Association of Independent Promoters. The UK charity has also launched the RAISE THE STANDARD initiative this year, designed to fund equipment upgrades across grassroots venues, alongside a new “ethical” ticket resale platform Tickets9 launched in partnership with the same UK venue charity.
The British DJ’s connection to the cause runs through his family too. Last summer, the British icon’s son Woody Cook and the Truth Tribe collective walked nearly 200 miles from Dover to Glastonbury to raise money for the UK venue charity, an effort that became one of the highest-profile grassroots fundraising moments of the year.
The combined initiative arrives at a critical moment for UK independent venues, with grassroots closures continuing at a faster rate than any meaningful intervention has yet been able to reverse. The 26-28 June weekend now lands as one of the most significant statements of intent the UK venue charity has ever organised.
