Whilst they might not necessarily be everyone's cup of tea, you can't deny that what Coldplay are doing with investing back into grassroots venues is something many giant acts could learn from.

Collectively we are in an industry that needs to nurture the very beginnings of the next stadium bands out there.

Ahead of Coldplay kicking off their summer 2025 UK gigs in Hull, the band have shared their thoughts on the fight to save grassroots music venues.

Its no secret we are huge fans of this band, and the guys themselves... Dave, Pete and Ryan. If you try to pigeon-hole them, you will come short and end up overlooking entirely the skillfully musicianship, razor sharp lyrics and the fact that no other band can get you off your seats and leave you grinning and breathless! Top Floor Towers is 100% - best of luck guys!

The live market for smaller artists is growing increasingly difficult due to the closure of many of our live music venues. We need to do more to support this industry, and there's so much more we CAN do. Go and give this page a like and follow. Let's invest in grassroots venues before they dissappear

These aren't one-offs. This is a new ownership model we're creating.

Every venue we buy proves it’s possible - and that together, we can shift the balance of power in live music.

From rented risk to owned security. From uncertainty to legacy. We don't want to just save venues one at a time... we’re here to change the whole system.

Own Our Venues. ALL of them.

Pete Briley doesn’t just break genre boundaries—he rewrites them. Known as a fearless multi-instrumentalist with a restless creative spirit, Pete fuses Country, Rock, and Alternative into a sound that’s very much his own: raw, instinctive, and constantly evolving. While many first discovered him through the high-octane swagger of The Outlaw Orchestra—sharing stages with the likes of The Darkness, Reef, and Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons—it’s in his solo work where the real magic happens. Here, Pete isn't just making music—he's crafting a world entirely on his terms.

His 2023 debut album made an immediate impact. From the BBC Music Introducing favourite "Elvis" to standouts like "Rhonda" and "Right Place, Wrong Time", the release showcased Pete’s gift for writing emotionally resonant, genre-fluid songs. Collaborations with Dane Campbell, Jonny Moody, Ryan Smith, and Nebojsa Pavlo added further depth.

Now, Pete returns with "Copenhagen," featured below, the fourth track from his upcoming second album. Written during a quiet moment at Copenhagen Airport amid a whirlwind year that included the Tokyo Marathon, SXSW, and a UK tour, the song captures the disorientation of constant motion. Produced with long-time collaborator Jonny Moody at Mood Market Studios, the track glows with sun-baked textures and Pete’s trademark lyrical honesty.

Accompanied by a video collage of tour footage and personal snapshots from Denmark, Sweden, Japan, and Texas, "Copenhagen" is as much a visual journey as it is a sonic one. With its cinematic scope and reflective undercurrent, Pete reminds us that sometimes the most poignant revelations happen between destinations.

In a recent interview, I asked him how the airport inspired the song, he told me:

"I realised I'd passed through that airport over a dozen times, but never stepped foot in the city itself. I was always just a ghost—present, but never rooted. It felt like life was racing past me, just like the song. That's when I knew it was time to let it go."

And that brings me nicely to the featured single - "Copenhagen."

A drifting sense of impermanence lies at the heart of this track—a reflection on transience, missed moments, and the quiet ache of departure. Set against a backdrop of fleeting cityscapes and smoky afterthoughts, it captures the emotional pause between arrivals and goodbyes. There's a longing here, not for permanence, but for something to hold onto in motion. It's the sound of someone slipping through places and people, carrying only memory and the weight of what’s unsaid. In all, this track further solidifies his place as one of the UK’s most forward-thinking and evocative solo artists.

To close, this single and forthcoming album won’t gather dust in any collection, and will keep heads bouncing and feet tapping from sofa to stage. So why not clear a space, and give Pete Briley a try for 2025.

Star rating - 10/10
