Songs lyrics projected onto grassroots venues to mark the launch of Everywhere At Once festival

Iconic song lyrics were projected onto multiple grassroots venues across the country to mark the launch of Everywhere At Once festival.  

The stunt took place to shine a spotlight on the vital role independent venues play in  nurturing emerging talent and shaping local cultural identity.  

London native Tinie Tempah had his breakthrough track Pass Out projected onto 229, a performance space which has hosted the likes of Biffy Clyro, Razorlight and Florence and the Machine.   

Tempah, who is a powerful voice in saving music venues said, “Seeing the lyrics to Pass Out projected onto 229 brought back a lot of memories. I performed there the night the track went to number one, so it’s a full circle moment.  

“Grassroots venues play a massive role in giving artists those early opportunities and help build confidence before anyone really knows your name. Every major artist starts somewhere, and it’s important we keep supporting the venues that give new talent a platform.” 

Additional projections across the UK, include lyrics lighting up venues such as Empire Music Hall in Belfast which hosted The Divine Comedy early in their career; and Worcester’s The Marrs Bar where Becky Hill performed as a teenager and is returning to perform for Everywhere at Once. 

Everywhere At Once festival will be taking place on what would have been the Glastonbury Festival weekend of 26-28 June. More than 400 grassroots music venues will stage hundreds of live music events, making it the UK’s largest festival.
