NTIA CEO Michael Kill Says:

“The Night Time Industries Association welcomes the publication of the Independent Fan-Led Review of Live and Electronic Music and is proud to have played a key role in ensuring the voices of electronic music fans were meaningfully represented throughout this process.

As an organisation at the heart of the UK’s night time economy, we actively worked to bring electronic music fans into the review, amplifying a community vital to the wider live and electronic music landscape. Too often overlooked, these fans represent a significant and influential segment of the UK audience, and their perspectives have been essential in shaping a more complete and accurate picture of the challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

We are extremely pleased to have contributed to a process that recognises fans not as passive observers, but as core stakeholders in the success of live and electronic music. The inclusion of electronic music culture within this national conversation is fundamental, and reflects the true diversity, scale and impact of the UK’s music ecosystem.

The recommendations, which include creating a Music Fans Association and introducing a Fans’ Charter, represent a positive step toward embedding fan voices in policy and decision-making. These measures align with the principles we continue to advocate for: fairness, protection of grassroots venues, safety, accessibility, and long-term sustainability.

This review sends a clear message: fans are the foundation of live and electronic music. Ensuring the voices of electronic music communities across the UK are heard is critical to building a resilient and future-facing industry.

The NTIA looks forward to continuing to work with government, industry and fan groups to help turn these recommendations into meaningful action.”
