Featured Session: Independent Music Venues: What? How? Why?

Having played in over a thousand venues over the last decade with his Grammy award-winning band, Mumford & Sons, Ben will be sharing his thoughts on the importance of music venues in 2020 and beyond.

Ben founded Venue Group in 2016 to coincide with the launch of their 300 capacity venue in London, Omeara. Since then Venue Group has opened a second London venue, 600 capacity LaFayette in Kings Cross and started developing large scale amphitheaters in both Texas and Alabama.
