Kate Nash: Last News

2024 annual report at The Houses Of Parliament last week (Thursday January 23), the Music Venue Trust invited new patron Kate Nash along for a performance and to deliver a speech.The singer-songwriter has been very vocal about the dire conditions that most recording artists find themselves in – taking to OnlyFans for her ‘Butts For Tour Buses’ campaign to protest the industry and raise money for live shows. Speaking in the House Of Commons, she described touring as “one of our favourite things to do, but it is becoming increasingly more difficult to do.”She explained how despite being “pretty successful” with “thousands and thousands of fans” and being able to “sell out a venue or two”, the practice of planning a tour was now “never exactly what you think and you’re always going to go over budget.“The way touring works right now is that you’re always over-budget, you go into the red, and fingers crossed you make nothing,” she continued.

Soft Play and Kate Nash have spoken to NME about their collaborative new single ‘Slushy’, and reflected on how the music industry’s “model is broken”.

Commissioned by Greater Manchester Combined Authority, The Mayor of London, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, West Midlands Combined Authority, Tees Valley Combined Authority, Cardiff City Council, Belfast City Council and Glasgow City of Music, the survey is intended to “give fans a data driven seat at the table”.Nash – who recently launched her ‘Butts For Tour Buses’ campaign which saw her join OnlyFans to protest the music industry and help raise money for her UK and European tour – voiced her support for the survey and shared: “The invisible thread that exists between fan and artist is the closest thing to magic I’ve ever felt.”“They’re often at the venue before we are, they wave and watch us leave as we drive onto the next one and they’re usually the first people to ask how they can help you,” she continued.

Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music – with digital listening accounting for nearly 85 per cent of the total figure.There has also been a steady growth in physical sales in recent times, and last year the market for vinyl records increased by 10.5 per cent.

Kate Nash has spoken to NME about her ‘Butts For Tour Buses’ campaign, the online row with The Lottery Winners – and why things need to change for artists now to avoid “collapse”.Nash recently made headlines when she launched her ‘Butts for Tour Buses’ campaign, which saw her join OnlyFans to protest the music industry and help raise money for her UK and European tour.The singer-songwriter and GLOW actor then took her “bum on the back of a fire truck” protest to the London offices of Live Nation and Spotify as well as the Houses of Parliament to highlight the challenges facing artists arguing: “The industry is in crisis, the music industry has failed artists, and is completely unsustainable, and my arse is shining a light on that.”This comes as the UK government recently backed the call for a ticket levy on arena gigs and above to feed the grassroots, with small venues in a perilous situation and artists struggling more than ever to make ends meet with the odds stacked against them. A deadline has since been set for March for the music industry to react in a meaningful way to the levy, before the government will be forced to step in and act.

The Lottery Winners frontman Thom Rylance has spoken to NME about his regret at starting a row with Kate Nash over the lack of working class representation in the arts – as well as what to expect from their upcoming album and support dates with Robbie Williams.Last month, Rylance tweeted that Nash shouldn’t try to represent working class musicians, as well as criticising her background as a former pupil of the BRIT School, mistakenly labelling it a fee-paying establishment.The tweet was in response to Nash’s ‘Butts For Buses’ campaign, which has seen the singer join Only Fans to raise funds for her tour, as well as highlighting how it’s far more lucrative for musicians to sell images of their body compared to streaming royalties.Nash responded to Rylance stating that she was “slightly confused by your argument”. Elaborating in an interview with NME this week, she continued: “What’s the argument about the BRIT School? It’s a free performing arts school.

recommended by MPs after a DCMS investigation back in Spring, and pressures rose for larger venues to commence support before being forced to do so by the government.Already, the likes of Coldplay, Enter Shikari and Sam Fender have all adopted a levy for their respective tours to help save the grassroots, after 2023 proved to be “disastrous” and the worst year on record with 125 grassroots music venues shutting their doors – a rate of two per week. The Music Venue Trust argued that a tidal wave of closures threatens the fabric of the UK music scene thanks to the recent budget announcement, with the circuit and artists already suffering from “the complete collapse of touring”.ASM Global first announced its commitment to the MVT back in 2023, and has so far taken numerous steps to help provide support to grassroots venues.

Kate Nash has hit back at Lottery Winners after they claimed she didn’t represent “the working class musician” because she went to the BRIT School.Their exchange followed Nash making headlines after launching her Butts for Tour Buses campaign, which saw her join OnlyFans to protest the ongoing financial pressures facing the music industry and help raise money for her ongoing UK and European tour.She also took her “bum on the back of a fire truck” protest to the London offices of Live Nation and Spotify as well as the Houses of Parliament to highlight the challenges facing artists and those working in the touring industry.In a statement to NME, Nash maintained that the value of recorded music is “extremely low” and the “cost of presenting live music has gone up by 30.3 per cent over the past two years” with 125 venues closing last year in the UK — echoing concerns raised by the Music Venue Trust last month.The ‘Foundations’ singer went on to say: “The industry is in crisis, the music industry has failed artists, and is completely unsustainable, and my arse is shining a light on that. And none would be listening if my bum wasn’t involved.“This is a conversation about agency.

The Lottery Winners have clarified comments made yesterday (November 29) about BRIT School and privately educated artists.Yesterday, the band took to X to voice their concerns about artists who attended the performing arts school or private schools attempting to speak on behalf of working class musicians.“I don’t mind if you went to private school and Brit School, that’s cool, I’m happy for you. But when did you become the spokesperson for the ‘working class musician’.

There were 125 venues that closed last year in the UK.

Well, I’m a middle child – I don’t stop until we’ve drawn blood,” she jokingly began her Instagram story. “Here’s my bum on the back of a fire truck, and here’s my bum in real life.

Kate Nash has defended her ‘Butts For Tour Buses’ OnlyFans campaign, arguing that it is vital that women are “in control of their bodies”.Earlier this week, the ‘Foundations’ singer announced that she had started an account on the online subscription service as a way of raising money for her UK and European tour, which kicked off on Thursday (November 21).Explaining her decision, she 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.”She went on to state that while ticket prices are rising, most touring musicians are “struggling to be able to 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,” she added. “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.”Now, Nash has spoken out in defence of her decision to start the OnlyFans channel, saying she wanted to address accusations that it is a “sad” thing to do.“Don’t be ‘sad’ that I started an onlyfans to fund my tours,” she wrote on Instagram.
