Independent Venue Week 2024

Organisers at Independent Venue Week (IVW), the UK’s annual nationwide celebration of independent music and arts venues, have encouraged gig-goers and the music industry to get behind next year’s event which takes place from January 29th to February 4th 2024.

Each year, IVW unites hundreds of independent venues from across the UK for 7 days of live gigs and performances.

At a launch party hosted today (Thursday 12th October) by BBC Radio 6 Music’s Huw Stephens at Manchester’s Rebellion venue as part of the Beyond The Music conference, IVW founder Sybil Bell revealed that over 110 venues have already signed up for IVW24, with over 40% of those being situated in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and Humberside.
