The 1975 frontman Matty Healy is sounding the alarm about the future of live music. He fears smaller venues, vital for emerging artists, are at risk of closing.
Healy recently spoke at the Latitude Festival in Suffolk, England, urging support for these spaces. These venues, often called "seed" venues, nurture new talent and provide crucial early performance opportunities.
"Seed" venues are smaller, independent locations that help artists grow before reaching larger stages. Healy believes their potential closure would severely damage the music ecosystem.
He emphasized the need for continued patronage and advocacy to ensure these vital hubs for music thrive. Supporting them is key to a vibrant future for music.
