Forget travelling hundreds of miles, camping in muddy fields or battling for festival tickets. This June, the UK’s biggest music festival is coming to local venues across the country.

From 26–28 June 2026, Everywhere At Once will transform more than 400 grassroots music venues into one giant nationwide festival, with over 2,000 artists performing across three days. Supported by Music Venue Trust and The National Lottery, the event celebrates the venues that keep live music alive in towns and cities across the UK.

Here are five reasons music fans should have Everywhere At Once firmly on their radar.

1. Big Artists Are Returning to Their Roots

The line-up reads like a festival poster in its own right. Newly announced artists include Fatboy Slim, Glenn Tilbrook, Lucy Spraggan, Gene, D Double E, P Money and Westside Cowboy, joining an already impressive bill featuring Becky Hill, Tinie Tempah, Rizzle Kicks, The Lathums, Master Peace, Toddla T, The Divine Comedy, Jodie Harsh and Brooke Combe.

What makes this different is that many of these artists will be performing in intimate grassroots venues rather than huge arenas, giving fans a rare chance to see established names up close.

2. You’ll Discover Tomorrow’s Headliners

Some of Britain’s biggest artists started out playing small local venues, and Everywhere At Once is putting the spotlight firmly back on the next generation.

Alongside the headline acts, hundreds of emerging musicians will be taking to stages across the country. Whether your playlist leans towards indie, dance, rock, grime, electronic music, folk, jazz or punk, there’s a good chance you’ll discover your next favourite artist.

3. The Festival Is Happening on Your Doorstep

One of the most exciting things about Everywhere At Once is its scale. Instead of bringing everyone to one location, the festival is bringing live music directly to communities across the UK.

With more than 400 venues involved, fans can enjoy the atmosphere of a major festival without leaving their local area. It is a refreshing reminder that some of the best nights out happen in smaller venues where the crowd is close to the stage and every performance feels personal.

4. You’ll Be Supporting the UK’s Music Ecosystem

Every ticket sold helps support the grassroots venues that are essential to the future of live music.

These venues provide opportunities for new artists, create jobs, support local communities and give music fans places to connect. Many have faced significant challenges in recent years, making events like Everywhere At Once more important than ever.

As Fatboy Slim said when joining the festival, grassroots venues are where music scenes begin, where artists learn their craft and where communities come together through a shared love of live music.

5. It’s More Than a Festival – It’s a Celebration of Live Music

Everywhere At Once is about much more than seeing a few bands. It’s a nationwide celebration of the people, venues, promoters and fans who make live music possible.

For one weekend, thousands of performances will take place across the country, creating what promises to be one of the largest celebrations of grassroots music ever staged in the UK. Audiences will also have the opportunity to support charities including War Child, Nordoff and Robbins, Help Musicians and Teenage Cancer Trust when purchasing tickets.

Don’t Miss Out

Whether you’re hoping to catch a major headline act in an intimate setting, discover emerging talent or simply support your local venue, Everywhere At Once looks set to be one of the standout music events of 2026.
