We’re sharing these now as some of you will be planning tours, album/single launches etc. If that’s you and you want to be considered for a specific date please get in touch info (@) lutonlivesmusiccommunity (dot) com.

For everyone else we’re updating our spreadsheet so feel free to send your links etc. to info (@) lutonlivesmusiccommunity (dot) com. Don’t expect an instant reply as I look at this email address on my PC every day or two, to save me from email notification overload on my phone.

The boring (transparent) business bit – Tickets are £5 (before booking fee) and of that £1 goes to cover our and the Hat Factory costs. We usually then spit the rest between each band/solo artist playing. A fair pay system. BUT if you’re regularly headlining 100 capacity venues at that price point we may be able to a different deal where you get paid more, within the same financial envelope, once an agreed number of tickets has been sold. We’ll be able to put new and developing bands who may not yet have an established audience on with you so everybody wins. Talk to us if this could work for you, but don't tell us that you can sell 80 tickets if you realistically can only sell 10, as no one wins then.
