Manchester gig spaces invited to apply for £245,000 Music Venue Trust grassroots fund
Update: 2025-11-04
Description
Manchester City Council launches a lifeline fund for grassroots music venues, partnering with the Music Venue Trust to provide financial support. The fund, inspired by the Music in the City report, aims to combat challenges faced by the city's music scene, including rising business rates and financial strain. The council's earnings from large events like Oasis and Billie Eilish concerts will fuel the fund, ensuring Manchester's music culture thrives at the foundation level. The Music Venue Trust will manage grant distribution, with venues needing to prove their commitment to live music to qualify. Industry leaders and artists push for national backing, like the proposed one pound ticket levy, to support grassroots spaces.
