The iconic Glastonbury Music Festival is taking the year off for 2026; but have no fear music fans, the Music Venue Trust and The National Lottery have joined forces to bring about a national Glastonbury alternative – Everywhere at Once.
Set for June 26-28 (the same weekend of Glastonbury), there will be music events all across the UK.
With acts from local artists to iconic stars, the multi venue festival is “designed to encourage people to reconnect with their local grassroots venues, the event aims to build a sense of community and urge music fans to come together and discover new artists.”
Among the 200 artists scheduled to perform are:
Becky Hill
Tinie Tempah
The Lathums
Rizzle Kicks
The Divine Comedy
Master Peace
Jodie Harsh
Toddla T
Brooke Combe
VLURE
Royston Club
Miki Berenyi Trio
Tom A Smith
Vigilantes
More artists will be announced in the coming days.
A number of music charities will also be on hand taking donations including War Child, Nordoff and Robbins, Help Musicians UK, and Teenage Cancer Trust.
Like many places around the world, The UK has seen a large loss of local and grassroots venues over the past few years; bringing a large loss of jobs as well.
