More than a million people went to live music events across London last week, live music campaigners have said, after some of the world's biggest stars rocked the city.
"From Beyoncé dazzling fans, Harry Styles' sold-out shows to music legends Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel taking London by storm, we're seeing a post-pandemic revival," he said.
"In last week alone, more than a million people enjoyed incredible live music in London, from the big-name performers to our vital grassroots venues."After a turbulent few years, one thing is clear: London's music scene is roaring back to life." Mark Davyd, the MVT's chief executive and founder, called it a"fantastic reflection of the UK as a nation at the forefront of music".However, he said more than 60 grassroots music venues had closed in the past 12 months and stressed the importance of ensuring people celebrated not only"the artists we have already created but the ones who will headline major events in the future".
"MVT repeats our call that every ticket sold at a major event should be financially contributing to the talent pipeline," he said.
