UK Music Venues Face Massive Rate Hikes, Artists & Fans Impacted
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Major UK music venues, including iconic arenas like Londons O2 and Wembley Arena, face substantial increases in business rates due to government-proposed property tax hikes. These hikes, based on full reopening conditions, could raise annual bills by up to £1.85 million. The Music Venue Trust CEO warns of higher ticket prices and potential artist tour cuts. However, a proposed one-pound ticket levy on larger arena shows and new laws against ticket touts offer support for grassroots venues and fans.
