A new UK-wide music event will see hundreds of grassroots venues host live performances simultaneously next summer, as organisers confirm the first wave of artists taking part in a nationwide festival.
The event, called Everywhere At Once, will take place from 26–28 June 2026, the weekend traditionally associated with the Glastonbury Festival, but instead of a single site, performances will be staged in more than 400 independent venues across the UK.
More than 2,000 artists are expected to take part across the three days. The first confirmed names include Becky Hill, Tinie Tempah, Rizzle Kicks, The Lathums, The Divine Comedy, Jodie Harsh and Brooke Combe.
Several artists are set to return to venues significant to their early careers, with Becky Hill scheduled to perform in Worcester, where she played as a teenager, while The Lathums will return to an early venue in Wigan.
The festival will span towns and cities across the UK, with events confirmed in locations including Falmouth, Aberdeen, Worcester, Wigan, Newcastle, Norwich, Southampton, Brighton and Stockton-on-Tees, alongside hundreds of other grassroots music hubs.
Rather than a single central festival site, organisers say the model is designed to highlight the UK’s grassroots music infrastructure and the role small venues play in developing emerging artists.
The National Lottery is supporting the initiative. It follows its earlier partnership with Music Venue Trust on the Revive Live Tour, which helped independent venues recover following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Organisers say the weekend will also include opportunities for audiences to donate to music-related charities.
Further artists and venue listings are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
