All For Jolly announce their upcoming single “LIFEBLOOD,” a release rooted in a wider campaign addressing the ongoing closure of grassroots music venues across the UK. The song sits at the core of a moment that blends music, message, and lived experience for a band shaped by the independent circuit.
“LIFEBLOOD” arrives via Patreon and Bandcamp on January 12, followed by a full digital release on January 17. The track serves as both a tribute to independent venues and a clear-eyed reflection on the pressures facing the grassroots scene, from rising costs and redevelopment to the financial strain placed on DIY artists.
“Grassroots venues are the lifeblood of bands like ours,” the band say. “They’re where scenes exist at all. Without them and without proper support making music becomes impossible for so many people.” That conviction runs through the song, giving it urgency, heart, and purpose.
The response to “LIFEBLOOD” highlights its emotional clarity and relevance. It captures what independent venues represent beyond bricks and stages, presenting them as spaces of survival, growth, and genuine connection between artists and audiences.
Following the release, All For Jolly tour the UK throughout February 2026. The run marks the band’s final tour as a full lineup for the foreseeable future, underscoring the campaign’s central message that the future of grassroots venues and independent artists remains tightly intertwined.
