Tour: VLURE, United by Music Tour, August 2023

VLURE, United By Music Tour, August 2023

For the third year The National Lottery has partnered with Music Venue Trust to help support the grassroots music sector by underwriting the full touring and production costs of the artists taking part in the United By Music Tour. This takes The National Lottery contribution to grassroots venues through the United By Music Tour to £1.5m, and the tireless work of Music Venue Trust continues to highlight and support independent venues across the country, and their communities.

And if you were to pick an artist to represent the importance and impact of live music right now, you couldn’t find a better subject than VLURE. The last few years have seen them grow into a band whose from the heart performances are intoxicating, momentous and life-affirming. The experience is the musical equivalent of Pulp Fiction’s adrenaline shot scene. People talk about the songs that saved their lives – come and find yours here in their ever growing catalogue of perfectly produced future anthems, this year’s releases Cut It and This Fantasy paving the way for what’s next, a cover of Faithless’ God is a DJ slotting into the set like it was always meant to be there.

I don’t know that the extent of this can be captured in pictures but I’ve had the best time trying, and met some great people along the way. Couldn’t make it to Manchester and Belfast, but the rest are here. Don’t miss this band, they really are something special.
