A.M.C has announced Grassroots Energy, a UK tour built around supporting the grassroots venues and promoters that helped shape him as an artist and that have helped support the Drum & Bass scene over the years.

Created in association with Save Our Scene, the tour is designed to shine a light on the smaller clubs, independent promoters and local scenes that remain vital to the future of UK music culture. With 175 UK towns and cities losing access to regular touring acts last year, the campaign aims to bring high-level drum & bass back into intimate rooms, keep ticket prices accessible, and create opportunities for emerging artists to perform alongside one of the scene’s most respected DJs.

The idea came from A.M.C wanting to give something back to the clubs and promoters that gave him his first real opportunities as well as give back to those who have been working hard keeping the scene going through particularly tough times. Before the festival stages and major headline shows, it was the small rooms, local crowds and grassroots promoters that helped build his career.

The tour will focus on energy, accessibility and community, celebrating the venues and promoters that continue to provide a platform for new talent and keep local music circuits alive across the UK.
