This past weekend, the Music Venue Trust joined forces with The National Lottery to bring big names to grassroots venues across the UK for the Everywhere At Once festival.

Everywhere At Once was billed as a “Glastonbury replacement,” with the Worthy Farm festival taking a fallow year for 2026.

Artists including Fatboy Slim, Westside Cowboy, Master Peace and D Double E played at small independent venues across the country this weekend (June 26-28), celebrating the spaces as well as shining a light on their continuing financial struggles.

Speaking about the tour, Fatboy Slim said: “I’ve been lucky enough to play huge stages all over the world, but grassroots venues are where it all started for me and where music scenes really begin, where artists learn their craft, where communities form, and where people come together purely for the love of it. Without grassroots venues, independent promoters and local crowds taking a chance on something new, none of this exists.

“These spaces are vital for culture and for local communities, so if there’s anything I can do to help shine a light on them and help keep that spirit alive, I’m more than happy to be involved. And if you care about music, go out and support your local venues, buy a ticket, discover somebody new, and be part of keeping those scenes alive.”

Audiences at the shows were also given the opportunity to help support various music charities too, while donations will be distributed to War Child, Nordoff and Robbins, Help Musicians UK, and Teenage Cancer Trust.
