Music brings people together — it always has. In 2026, we’re connecting fans, artists, venues, and record stores across the UK to turn that energy into action.
The Hope Over Fear campaign marks a turning point — a call to replace political paralysis with participation. Through music’s collective power, we’re showing that hope isn’t naive; it’s radical.
Building on our NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET Movement, we’re working with the Music Venue Trust to establish regional Action Hubs in towns and cities across the UK — spaces for fans, artists, and organisers to collaborate, create, and take local action.
We're launching this with three new t-shirt design, which carry a message of strength and imagination:
HOPE OVER FEAR, ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE, and OUR FUTURE OUR FIGHT.
Profits from the campaign t-shirts directly fund the creation and support of groups across the UK— providing resources, training, and small grants to help local communities organise gigs, workshops, and regeneration projects.
Music Declares Emergency launches with artists and industry calling for urgent climate action. The slogan NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET becomes a global rallying cry.
2020–2023 — MOBILISATION
Partnerships with artists, labels, venues, and festivals grow the movement to 15 countries.
Over 500M music fans reached worldwide.

2026 — HOPE OVER FEAR
New campaign launches with Anthony Burrill, Music Venue Trust, and leading artists. Funds from campaign tees and prints establish local Action Hubs in grassroots music venues nationwide.
