The greed is ugly and everyone can see it. There is an evidence based solution tabled. The industry needs to save face, avoid statutory regulation and hurry up before we lose more venues, tours, promoters, artists and fans.

Dear ⁦Lisa Nandy MP⁩ ⁦Chris Bryant⁩ The ⁦Culture, Media and Sport Committee⁩ Report proposed a fan led review. ⁦Music Venue Trust⁩ asked ⁦Department for Culture, Media and Sport⁩ to back that call. It’s in your inbox and we are ready to help deliver it. We can start tomorrow. theguardian.com/music/article/…

Music Venue Trust Catherine Atkinson MP Baggy Shanker it would be great to see the new Labour government act on this!

Music Venue Trust Hi Chris Webb MP we massively need action on this.

There's no excuse for arena / stadium artists and their teams not doing this.

Music Venue Trust Hi Lucy Rigby MP - we have to back this, for all music venues locally and nationally

RT so Department for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy MP Chris Bryant can hear a very clear message from the whole music community on this issue Oasis: £200million+ tickets £20million+ charges £2million+ facility fees A Big Fat £Zero invested in the grassroots sector

Chris Bryant Music Venue Trust Department for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy MP Thanks Chris; I'd say noting what the Music Venue Trust has to say on most things is a smart way to understand the problems in our sector. Appreciate your interest, next we need action.

NEWS: We're thrilled to be supporting the Music Venue Trust (Music Venue Trust) throughout September by adding donation options to all transactions on gigantic.com, as well as our own contribution. 🧡 Find out more about our partnership here: bit.ly/4dNDVyl

The already fragile music ecosystem is further threatened by these actions, so MVT supports the #NoArtWithoutArtists campaign by Scottish Music Industry Association, and have signed their open letter.

Positive to see you are monitoring this, Chris. Artists are finding it incredibly difficult to tour at the grassroots level. If there are no performances, there is no live music industry. If there are no new bands touring, there will be no ‘next’ Oasis…

Huge thanks to Gigantic Tickets for their much needed support. We are dealing with a record number of cases of venues facing closure, these vital funds help us to offer them the support they need.

An important thread here from The FAC Everyone in the industry should be working to create the grassroots contribution Culture, Media and Sport Committee was told would be delivered. If the industry can’t or won’t do that we reluctantly agree with FAC; it will be time for a statutory levy.

Fantastic turn out for the Venue Viability panel at BIGSOUND Excellent panel… plus a power cut. #BigSound

The grassroots sector does so much to underpin our world leading music industries. It's vital that we work together to ensure all parts of our music ecosystem are thriving and can continue to nurture our global touring artists of the future.
