MVT & National Lottery’s EVERYWHERE AT ONCE Festival

Music Venue Trust and The National Lottery announce Everywhere At Once: The UK’s Biggest Festival

Music Venue Trust (MVT) and The National Lottery are delighted to announce Everywhere At Once – the festival on your doorstep.

Taking place on what would have been the Glastonbury Festival weekend of June 26 to 28, 2026, hundreds of Grassroots Music Venues across the country will unite for Everywhere At Once. For one extraordinary weekend, venues from Inverness to Penzance will host hundreds of major artists, touring acts and the most exciting emerging local talent in the spaces that have launched generations of musicians. This will enable audiences to experience a diverse, curated programme of live music in the intimate rooms that are the heartbeat of their communities.

This is not a festival in a field. It’s a festival on your doorstep, no tent required. Forget the trek, the traffic and the campsites. This summer’s most exciting live music experience is coming to TROWBRIDGE!. Everywhere At Once is more than a line-up of gigs. It’s a national moment to celebrate the grassroots music ecosystem.

For three days, the artists play, the venues host, the nation listens. Closer to the music, where local matters, where everyone belongs.

In Trowbridge we will be going international with Denmark’s twee indie darlings JOSIE, who are Denmark’s newest pop band. Having only formed in 2023, their songwriting chops rival the best in the genre. This is where dreamy melodies and jangly guitars meet woozy vocals.

On Saturday we have London’s FIGHT MILK turning up the volume and the ante, with high-energy, melodic songs with witty, angsty lyrics and Godzilla sized hooks!.

Sunday we celebrate with former Ocean Colour Scene guitarist, DAN SEALEY, who is an acclaimed singer-songwriter blending folk, storytelling, in warm, engaging live sets.

Full line ups, support acts, times and tickets will be announced shortly!

Tickets on-sale, via WeGotTickets.

 

The Village Pump Receives Outstanding Contribution to UK Grassroots Music Award.

We are delighted to announce that out venue The Village Pump in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, were surprised to be jointly awarded the “Outstanding Contribution to Grassroots Music” Award, when 3 of the team visited the Music Venue Trust industry all-dayer “Venues Day 2024” in London’s East End in October.

Attending the industry event at The Fireworks Factory in Greenwich on 8th October were directors Nicholas Reed and Kieran J Moore, along with principle promoter Simon Smith.

We are delighted to have been recognised for our contribution to the UKs Grass Roots Music sector. The Music Venue Trust works tirelessly to protect, secure and improve UK grassroots music venues for communities and emerging artists.

Since we took on The Pump in 2020 it’s just been one success story after another. We smashed our annual ticket sales year on year, our ticket provider WeGotTickets have informed us. This has obviously been a result of working with more famous acts, as well as establishing a reputation as an excellent experience for live music for both artists and the audience.

Receiving the award is an incredible amount of validation for what we do in our community. And to be recognised with so many other great venues, like the Cheese & Grain across our area is such an honour.

In December The Pump looks set to receive an Area Board Grant to run our next year of “Future Sound of Trowbridge” events, whilst also having just announced, and sold out Chris Difford of Squeeze, we can show that we have such range and appeal for music in our town.

With Trowbridge’s “Old Town Hall” set to reopen next summer, the ground has truly been prepared for future entertainment and cultural growth in Trowbridge.
