A new survey has revealed some depressing, if revealing, stats about just how tough up-and-coming artists are finding it out there. The headline figure itself is a shocker - 84% of independent artists in the UK cannot afford to go on tour in 2025.
The research has been done by Ditto, the UK-based online music distributor. They interviewed 1500 unsigned artists from a broad range of locations, age groups and styles of music and asked them about their experiences. We all know that grassroots musicians are struggling out there, but perhaps not as much as this.
