The Music Venue Trust’s Revive Live Tour supported 138 grassroots music venues in the UK earlier this summer.
Music Venue Trust organisers have confirmed they will resume their partnership with the National Lottery for another round of Revive Live Tour dates next year.
Gigs from artists such Fontaines D.C., Tom Jones and Mahalia took place during July 2021 and beyond with the aim of helping grassroots venues out of lockdown restrictions, and further support is to be provided next year throughout the usually otherwise quiet period of January.
“The overwhelming success of The National Lottery’s Revive Live Tour in the summer meant that it wasn’t a difficult decision to push forward with another set of shows in partnership with our friends at The National Lottery.” Mark Dayvd, CEO of the Music Venue Trust, has said.
“By choosing January, a traditionally quiet time of year for live music, to launch a second phase of the tour, we hope to start the new year with a bang and to create some positive momentum in 2022 for the grassroots music sector.”
