Tolbooth joins Everywhere At Once: The UK’s Biggest Festival

Taking place on what would have been the Glastonbury Festival weekend of June 26 to 28, 2026, hundreds of grassroots music venues across the country will unite under the banner of Everywhere At Once for the UK’s largest festival.

We’re thrilled to announce Vlure + support at Tolbooth, Stirling on Friday 26th June

In April, the five piece – Hamish Hutcheson, Alex Pearson, Conor Goldie. Niall Goldie and Carlo Kriekaard – released their first new music in over a year, in the form of ‘Better Days’, now revealed to be the first taste of their long awaited debut album. Co-produced by Conor and Manni Dee (Daniel Avery & HAAi) and with features from Bobby Gillespie, PSweatpants and Gaïa, ‘Escalate’ is a 13 track collection that is the proudly, loudly, avowedly now sound of VLURE’s hometown. The thrills and spills of Glasgow – its daylight and its nightlife and its afterparties – provide the pulse and heartbeat of Escalate.

Since their debut single ‘Shattered Faith’ in 2021, VLURE have built themselves a reputation as one of the most vital and culturally significant bands around. Their performances at The Great Escape and Pitchfork Paris were raved about, their set at Shangri-La was talked about across all of Glastonbury and they were nominated as BBC Introducing Scotland’s Artist of the Year in 2023. To add to this, they also won Best Live Act at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards in 2023 and Electronic & Dance Live Artist of the Year at the 2024 Scottish Live Music Awards. With ‘Escalate’, VLURE have made a body of work quite unlike anything else out there at the moment but one which, at its core is an album about coming of age, friendship and finding oneself.

VLURE are Hamish Hutcheson on vocals, Alexandra Pearson on vocals & synths, Conor Goldie on programming, production guitar, Niall Goldie on & bass and Carlo Kriekaard on drums.

Organised by Music Venue Trust, the charity that supports grassroots music venues, and powered by The National Lottery, the festival will celebrate the grassroots network that British music is built on – the places where artists first step on the stage, where Glastonbury headliners hone their craft, and where communities have access to local and affordable live music.

National Lottery players are one of the biggest backers of grassroots music – because of them, over £1billion has gone to support music in every corner of the country. The National Lottery’s backing for Everywhere At Once will help venues and independent promoters champion new artists and programme a bold, exciting weekend in communities across the UK.

Everywhere At Once is not a festival in a field. It’s a festival on your doorstep, no tent required. Forget the trek, the traffic and the campsites. This summer’s most exciting live music experience will happen in a venue near you, where audiences will be able to experience that festival energy in the intimate setting of the UK’s vital grassroots music venues.

In 2021, The National Lottery and MVT cemented their partnership with The National Lottery’s Revive Live Tour, which helped venues re-open and rebuild following the impact of Covid.  Everywhere At Once, powered by The National Lottery, will be delivered by Music Venue Trust alongside Save Our Scene and the Association of Independent Promoters, bringing the grassroots network together for a shared national moment of live music.

Audiences will also be given the opportunity to support a range of exceptional and vital music charities at point of purchase, with donations supporting War Child, Nordoff and Robbins, Help Musicians UK, and Teenage Cancer Trust.

For three days, the artists play, the venues host, the nation listens. Closer to the music, where local matters, where everyone belongs.
