Independent Venue Week has announced Big Freedia as its ambassador and released its full 2022 program. Independent Venue Week will kick off on July 11th and run through the 17th. Over 400 venues across all 50 states will be celebrating with over 1,100 shows taking place. Joining in the festivities are artists like Japenese Breakfast, The Linda Lindas, The Mountain Goats, Death Cab for Cutie, Fucked Up, and many more. You can find all the participants HERE. Cecilie Nielsen of Marauder (the firm running IVW in the US) comments:
A lot has happened in these first five years. We launched in the States with only 20 venues. Independent Venue Week is now the largest national event celebrating independent live music, comedy, and performing arts around the world. No longer is the locally owned or operated room or festival solely on their own; this event serves to unite the individuals within our many communities, reminding those on and in front of the stage what makes these places so special, and of course worthy of a week-long celebration.
Get out and support your favorite independent venues!
