Bathgate singer Luke La Volpe has been announced among the first artists taking part in an exciting new tour.
The star will be taking part in the Music Venue Trust and National Lottery’s United By Music Tour shows this summer.
United by Music sees 150 artists playing gigs in 130 grassroots venues across the UK, with fans able to buy 2-for-1 tickets with a National Lottery product.
Luke, who was made a patron of Music Venue Trust after organising the online Sofathon Singalong festivals in aid of grassroots music venues during lockdown, said: “I’m proud to be a patron of the Music Venue Trust and part of the United By Music tour.
“Grassroots venues are the life blood of music. Every night of the week, fans are in there watching unknown artists evolve into the next arena megastars. I learned how to do this by gigging in these venues since I was 15 years old. Without them there is no music.”
Luke will play eight shows, including four in Scotland, starting on September 1 at the Dreadnought in his home town of Bathgate and finishing at Sneaky Pete’s in Edinburgh on the 11th
Tickets for Luke’s tour and the other ‘United By Music’ shows announced so far go on sale on Monday, May 15 at 10am from www.unitedbymusic.live
Scottish Music Award breakthrough winner Luke has previously supported Lewis Capaldi, The Snuts, Tom Walker, Tom Grennan and Jake Bugg and headlined a sold out show at Glasgow’s SWG3 Galvanisers in December. Here he is performing at TRNSMT festival 2022.
