State Of Independent Venues: What do fans want from live music in 2025?
Huw continues our week-long celebration of live music venues with an examination of what fans want from live music in 2025, how that has changed and whether venues need to adapt.
Huw continues our week-long celebration of live music venues with an examination of what fans want from live music in 2025, how that has changed and whether venues need to adapt.
Today Huw talks to Radio 1 DJ Jaguar about what young clubbers want to experience now and how that has changed. Plus he's joined by Matt Griffiths, CEO of Youth Music, to discuss young people's changing relationships to music.
Deb Grant presents a report from Manchester, talking to the team behind Amber's, a new nightclub which has adopted a strict no phones policy as well as keeping their line-ups secret and tickets cheap in an effort to entice club-goers.
Huw also chats to Kingsley Hall, frontman of the Teeside band BENEFITS. The group are touring in April, with tickets kept affordable and gigs finished by 10pm to help audiences get home.
Plus Huw is joined by 6 Music's Matt Everitt who has been looking into the festival scene - which is attracting increasing numbers of music fans, and seeing more money spent than before, yet the numbers of festivals are dwindling in a competitive and challenging market.
We also hear the story of a venue who is taking part in this year's Independent Venue Week. Today it's Black Box in Belfast, a vibrant arts venue in the centre of Belfast's Cathedral Quarter.
State Of Independent Venues is a week-long deep-dive into the live music industry on 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 6 Music. Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens are celebrating independent venues and clubs on team, hearing from those who run them, the artists that play there and exploring how we can protect it all for the future.
