The National Lottery is announcing the largest legacy initiative announced so far for Eurovision 2023. Providing vital support to live music, The National Lottery’s United By Music Tour will see charity Music Venue Trust stage 150 gigs at 130 venues across the UK.
Artists such as Cat Burns, Blossoms and Metronomy amongst others are due to appear at gigs from mid-June to highlight the importance of supporting grassroots music venues.
The announcement takes The National Lottery contribution to grassroots venues through the United By Music Tour to £1.5m and comes at a crucial time when many venues are still suffering the fallout from the pandemic and the impact of the cost of living crisis.
Tickets for The National Lottery’s United by Music Tour will be live on May 15 2023 at 10am. See www.unitedbymusic.live for tickets.
