Funds raised from the Louder-promoted shows in March 2027 will go to LIVE Trust, the charity established by LIVE to protect, expand and support grassroots live music across the UK. Funded through £1 contributions added to tickets for participating shows, the funds are distributed across the grassroots live music sector, supporting programmes that help keep venues open, festivals running, artists on the road, and the people behind the promotion and staging of live music.

Sub Focus said: “Grassroots venues and promoters are where I learned my craft, built the foundations of my career and they are an incubator for future stars of our industry. I want to give my full support to what Save Our Scene are doing to make sure these venues stay alive and kicking!”

Sub Focus’s backing marks an important milestone for the £1 per ticket contribution, bringing electronic music into the growing range of genres supporting LIVE Trust and opening the door for more DJs and electronic artists to get behind grassroots live music. The shows are promoted by Louder, who backed the inclusion of the contribution across both dates.

George Fleming, Founder, Save Our Scene, said: “Sub Focus recognising his journey from grassroots stages to arena success is amazing to see. We are beyond proud to have helped make this happen and look forward to working with LIVE Trust, Music Venue Trust and AIP in helping get these funds into the hands of venues, artists and promoters across the nation, through the Liveline Fund. Thank you Sub Focus, his team and Louder for making this happen!”

Jon Collins, CEO, LIVE Trust, said: “It’s brilliant to have Sub Focus leading the way for electronic music with his support of LIVE Trust. The strength of LIVE Trust comes from artists and the wider live music industry recognising that a small contribution at major shows can make a real difference at grassroots level.”

Sub Focus joins a growing number of major artists supporting LIVE Trust, including Lily Allen, Harry Styles, Gracie Abrams and Gorillaz. Thanks to these contributions, in July 2026 LIVE Trust announced it had doubled the amount distributed through its Phase Two funding programme, taking the total to £1.5 million.

LIVE Trust is already working towards its next funding round. As more tours and live events choose to include the £1 ticket contribution, LIVE Trust aims to increase the funding available to grassroots live music across the UK.
