US EditionMoney From Oasis' Heaton Park Gigs to Fund Manchester Grassroots Venues
MANCHESTER, JUL 31 – Manchester City Council is investing £250,000 from Oasis concert profits to support grassroots music venues and parkland amid a surge of 1.3 million music tourists in 2025.
- Manchester City Council launched a £250,000 fund to support grassroots music venues using money raised from Oasis's Heaton Park concerts in 2025.
- This initiative came in response to difficulties experienced by small venues following the government's decision in April to scale back business rates relief, which put their long-term viability at risk.
- The fund enables small venues such as the Night & Day Cafe to apply for grants, while some of the revenue generated will be put back into maintaining local council parkland.
- Council leader Bev Craig highlighted the importance of smaller, grassroots venues as essential platforms where emerging artists can grow and establish themselves within the broader music scene.
- The fund aims to secure Manchester's grassroots music network and inspire other cities to similarly support local venues amid a national decline in music spaces.
