Independent Venue Week is coming to Nantwich for the very first time next year, in celebration of grassroots music.
For the first time, live music promoters Applestump Records and Moth Events are set to bring a unique soundscape to Nantwich as they join forces to celebrate Independent Venue Week 2025.
The two local promoters will host a series of live music events in venues The Studio and The Granary Arts Cafe between 27 January and 2 February, spotlighting an array of exciting new talent and established acts and giving the community a taste of the thriving independent music scene.
The week-long festival, designed to showcase independent venues and support grassroots music, will mark its debut in Nantwich.
Already generating a buzz, the lineup will feature a performance from acclaimed act The Lounge Society, whose blend of indie rock, punk energy, and soulful creativity promises to draw a crowd.
The Lounge Society, known for their raw, high-energy performances and breakout singles like "Burn the Heather," have become a standout act in the UK post-punk scene.
They will headline one of the shows at The Studio during the week, bringing their edgy, politically charged lyrics and signature sound that has resonated with audiences nationwide.
Also performing an already sold out show at The Granary over the week is Fyfe Dangerfield, the gifted vocalist and founding member of Guillemots, whose solo work has been praised for its heartfelt lyricism and sophisticated compositions.
Founder and owner of Applestump Records, Steve Cook, told Nub News: "We are thrilled to partner with Moth Events to bring Independent Venue Week to Nantwich.
"We are lucky to have amazing artists like The Lounge Society and Fyfe joining us, and can't wait to see Nantwich buzzing with live music fans."
Independent Venue Week, a national initiative that supports independent venues by organising hundreds of events across the country, provides an ideal platform for these local promoters to put the town on the UK's live music map.
Tim Dougill, of Moth Events, said: "Moth Events is all about creating memorable experiences, and there's something special about live music in an intimate setting.
"Independent Venue Week gives us the opportunity to showcase our town's spaces in a new way and invite people from near and far to see Nantwich in a different light."
Events at The Granary over Independent Venue Week will also raise money for Mid Cheshire Mind.
Additional events will be announced in the coming weeks, with tickets for The Lounge Society available HERE.
