By plugging genuine shortfalls and de-risking touring, the FAC’s UK Artist Touring (UKAT) fund, developed in partnership with the Music Managers Forum and the Musicians’ Union and backed by the LIVE Trust, aims to protect the UK’s cultural infrastructure, deliver renewed vitality in the grassroots, strengthen the pipeline of future talent, and ensure that genre, regional and cultural diversity can flourish while also supporting the development of new and existing audiences, so music can thrive sustainably across the UK.

UKAT is open to artists from all backgrounds, all parts of the UK, all genres and all career stages.

UKAT seeks to ensure artists can present their artistic work and vision in the manner in which audiences are intended to experience it.

For Phase Two, we have partnered with the Northern Music Export Office (NMEO), which will increase UKAT support for artists based in in the North East, Tees Valley and West Yorkshire.
