Harry Styles is giving back to the UK's grassroots venues on his Together, Together stadium tour.

The Aperture singer is the first artist of 2026 to agree to donate £1 from every ticket sold to his shows to the LIVE Trust, which supports struggling independent venues up and down the country.

A statement on Music Venue Trust's Instagram page read: "Harry Styles kicks off 2026 with a bang - and with a boost to grassroots.

"He’s the first artist this year to announce a major UK stadium tour with £1 from every ticket going to the LIVE Trust, directly supporting the UK’s grassroots venues.

"That £1 might feel small. But when artists at the top level step up, it unlocks serious, long-term support for the base that holds the whole live music ecosystem together. This model works. And it’s growing."

Praising the gesture, the Featured Artists Coalition said: "By donating a portion of each ticket to the Live Trust, Harry is helping provide essential support for artists, promoters and venues navigating some of the toughest conditions the live sector has ever faced.

“By backing the LIVE Trust this way, artists are protecting the future pipeline by enabling programmes such as the FAC’s UK Artist Touring Fund (UKAT).”

The MVT recently shared the grim report that 30 grassroots venues in the UK shut down between July 2024 and July 2025.
