Pulp donate to Live Trust’s grassroots venues fund with £1 addition on UK arena tour tickets
Pulp will be the first band to contribute to the LIVE Trust, where £1 from every ticket sold at their summer 2025 UK arena tour will be given to fund financial support to those working across live music.The LIVE Trust, which was set up in the wake of last year’s CMS Select Committee investigation into the state of the grassroots, will dish out vital funding and act on behalf of the live music industry, which contributes £6.1billion to the UK economy while employing 230,000 people.David Martin of the Featured Artists Coalition told NME in January that he hopes a levy would be introduced by some artists to support the initiative; “what I would like to see happen is a £1 blanket levy on all gigs above a 5,000 capacity very quickly with that funding going to the Live Trust and distributed between venues and artists in parity, with some of the money going to promoters as well.”Pulp has been announced as the first band to pledge £1 from each of their tickets sold from their upcoming tour to the scheme.“As the first UK band to endorse our mission, Pulp is championing the future of UK live music by backing a £1 ticket addition that directly supports grassroots venues, festivals, and emerging talent across the UK,” the social media announcement post reads. “Their commitment shows that live music is about passion, community, and a sustainable future.”A post shared by LIVE Trust (@livetrustcharity)Other artists have also introduced levies on their tickets, donating some of the money from each sale to various causes.
