Annie Mac, Bicep, Jessie Ware and more sign an open letter to encourage young people to vote

Research shows that, in 2023, over six million young people ages 18-34 across the UK attended festivals, watching their fave artists, live acts, DJs, in their favourite fields and venue spaces, but that same number didn’t vote in the last election. Statistics show the youth are increasingly disengaged with politics, feeling like they can’t make a difference. Most people under 34 are more likely to head to a protest than the ballot boxes, so the music industry is here on a mission to make voting 2024’s biggest cultural conversation.
