Reading based band Only The Poets have announced they are charging £1 a ticket for their headline show at O2 Academy Brixton next year.
This announcement comes after they decided everyone should be able to enjoy live music regardless of income.
The band announced the show on Instagram this morning and highlighted the importance of it in their caption.
They stated that, “Lately, with the cost of living rising, ticket prices have gone wild, making live music inaccessible and pricing out the exact people who need that escapism most.”
They further went on to say that, “live music should be accessible to everyone.”
The show is next year February 2, just after the release of their debut album ‘And I’d Do It Again’, which is out January 30.
The initiative also goes beyond ticket prices. Not only are tickets priced at £1, but an additional £1 will go to LIVE Trust, which help protect grassroots music venues in the UK.
LIVE CEO Jon Collins said: “This is a wonderful, positive move by Only The Poets, giving back to the grassroots while giving back to their fans.”
All tickets are priced at £1 + fees (£1 venue restoration, £1 Ticketmaster fee, £1 LIVE Trust donation).
Only The Poets have grown from grassroots venues to international tours. In 2025 alone, they sold over 25,000 tickets around Europe.
They also toured in America for the first time selling out shows in New York, Los Angeles and Boston.
Fans in London have already seen them sell out venues such as KOKO, Electric Ballroom, and O2 Shepherd’s Bush.
Brixton next year will be their biggest headline show so far in their career.
