The entire music industry is united in calling for Sir Keir Starmer and his government to take urgent and decisive action on business rates before ticket prices soar and venues close.
We have come together today to sign a joint letter to the Prime Minister.
Why?
Because the new 2026 Business Rates revaluations will force a £7.2 million tax hike onto UK Music Venues.
For hundreds of stages this is a closure notice.
We stand together to demand urgent action:
Fair Business Rates relief and a valuation system that recognises cultural impact, not just commercial property value.
This is a pivotal moment for the future of British music.
And we need your support.
