Independent Venue Week 2026

Describing Independent Venue Week is best done via their own words - "a seven day celebration of small music venues around the UK and a nod to the people that own, run and work in them, week in, week out".

Funded by the Arts Council and curated in 2016 by BBC Radio One's Huw Stephens, cities and towns across the UK will revel in live music from both established live acts and the stars of tomorrow.
