A very interesting spread in @thetimes Culture mag today, mourning the problems of UK festivals. It's fascinating that they completely ignore @RebellionFest, sold out this year and and absolute British institution. People still love punk and this proves it.

Look at this comedian, pushing those huge stadium gigs whilst standing back and watching the grassroots venues close one after the other. @MayorofLondon your traffic policies have ritually killed the music scene in London…you clearly know nothing about music!
Music fans can look forward to a record-breaking summer in London ☀️
Our stadiums and venues will bring millions together to enjoy the best - including Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande & more.
This is why London is the undisputed capital of music.

So I posted about @virginmedia being crap and now I've got a flurry of messages from different accounts saying they are VM customer service accounts. I'm stumped!

This is what us small promoters are facing, it’s a full on tragedy for grassroots music!
"We have reached the absolute limit of what goodwill can possibly absorb"
Over half of UK grassroots venues made no profit in 2025, with 6,000 jobs lost, as @musicvenuetrust share their annual report and what needs to be done nme.com/news/music/music-ven…
