Kate Nash has launched an ONLYFANS campaign titled Butts For Tour Buses in an effort to raise funds for touring.The ‘Foundations’ singer is set to embark on her UK and European tour tonight (November 21) at Glasgow’s Oran Mor.

Ahead of her gig, the musician revealed Butts For Tour Buses – her OnlyFans campaign which will help her raise money for her tour.Speaking about the campaign in a statement, Nash said: “Whilst touring is the best job EVER it is currently technically what you might call a passion project for a lot of artists in 2024.

A recent survey by Pirate Studios found that whilst gig ticket & festival prices are sky rocketing & we are seeing a select few in the industry become millionaires or even billionaires from touring, the majority of musicians and artists are struggling to be able afford to actually play shows.“Costs of travel, accommodation, food, promotion & employees have also gone up in price but musicians are not seeing changes in their gig fees to help pay for all these rising costs.

So this Christmas I’m asking that buy either a piece of my merch or my arse on my new ONLYFANS account katenyash87 to support me paying great wages & putting on a high quality show as I will not sacrifice either of things.
