🚨 Call for Evidence – The Future of Live Music 🚨

This week, two more NI independent camping festivals have announced they won’t be running in 2026.

Over the past decade, the island has already lost: Body & Soul, Indiependence, Life Festival, Sea Sessions, Vantastival, Dalriada, Sunflowerfest, Knockanstockan, Wild Roots, Sounds of the Shore, Willowstone, PigStock & Tanglewood.

Independent festivals like Stendhal work year-round to create weekends of joy, community, creativity and connection for audiences and artists alike — but the landscape is becoming impossible to sustain.

The live music scene here appears to be dominated by global giant: Live Nation (2024 revenue – $23bn) and their associates.

In Northern Ireland, these global associations are seemingly involved in delivering the majority of events, including; Belsonic, Emerge, Custom House Square (June > August), Farmers Bash and a large portion if not the majority of concerts at SSE Arena, Telegraph Building, Boucher Road & other notable City concerts/ venues.

If one company and associates control over 25% of a market, that’s a monopoly - and we believe if the above is indeed the situation here, those dynamics warrant a full Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigation.

Add to that the fact that NI’s government spends just £5 per head on the arts - compared to £20 per head in the Republic - and it’s clear our creative grassroots are under real pressure.

Without change, our live music scene will lose its heart and become a homogenous mix of big-brand commercial events.

🎶 The UK Government’s Call for Evidence on Live Music is open until this Friday, 23 January.

This is our chance to speak up, share experiences, and push for a fairer, more vibrant live music industry.

Please share or tag anyone you think may wish to make representation from NI.

💬 Evidence can be submitted anonymously (link in comments)!
