Marshall has partnered with Music Venue Trust (MVT) on an initiative for grassroots music.
“At a time when grassroots venues face unprecedented challenges, Marshall is stepping forward to help protect and power the spaces that keep live music alive,” said a statement.
In collaboration with MVT, Marshall will deliver Marshall Nights, a nationwide series of more than 20 gigs, each shining a spotlight on emerging talent.
The tour will feature over 60 breakthrough artists performing across grassroots venues, starting with Green Door Store (Brighton), Fuel (Cardiff), The Rum Shack (Glasgow) and Yellow Arch (Sheffield).
The initiative builds on Marshall’s ongoing commitment to grassroots music. Co-founder Terry Marshall and his wife Leslie Marshall personally donated £100,000 to support MVT’s Own Our Venues campaign, an effort to protect local music spaces by bringing them into community ownership.
Marshall also supplied backline equipment to more than 20 grassroots music venues.
Grassroots venues are where every great band starts, and we’re proud to help keep those stages alive for the next generation of artists and fans

Beyond the live shows, Marshall and MVT will collaborate on a series of live sessions, interviews and behind-the-scenes content.
Denzil Thomas, partnerships manager at the Music Venue Trust, said: “Grassroots Music Venues are the lifeblood of the UK’s music ecosystem, they are where artists take their first steps, and where fans fall in love with live music. We’re proud to partner with Marshall, a brand that embodies the sound and spirit of live performance, to keep these vital spaces alive.”
Kevin Penney, marketing director at Marshall EMEA, said: “Marshall was born from the live stage, and that’s where we belong. Grassroots venues are where every great band starts, and we’re proud to help keep those stages alive for the next generation of artists and fans. This isn’t just about sound, it’s about community, creativity, and giving back to the music that made us.”
