DIY is passionate about music – past, present and future. We put artists across the spectrum at the core of everything we do, making space for talent of all sizes and statuses. We have built a 1m+ tastemaker community who share our passion for music discovery.
We don’t just support young artists through our fiercely independent editorial pages, but across online, social media and onto the live stage at our own events like DIY Alive festival, and through our presence at client festivals and showcases in the UK, and increasingly overseas.
This is rapidly evolving into our own style of wider education for industry hopefuls integrated into our live events or bespoke events with brands like Roland/BOSS.

DIY Alive festival
Live music is the lifeblood of the artist’s career path, emotionally and financially, and as such is also an integral part of the service that DIY provides its clients, artists and their fans. We help young artists get their first steps on the live stage through our own bespoke events – Hello and “DIY Class of” annually, and then music discovery grass roots activations for supportive brands like Jägermeister Musik and Jack Daniels and Son Estrella Galicia. We co-curate stages and media partner key showcase festivals like SXSW, Reeperbahn and The Great Escape and have had DIY stages at festivals like Live at Leeds.

We’ve done album launch parties and even taken a tour bus around Europe with Dr.Martens. Most recently we have teamed up with promoters in NYC to help artists launch into the US and supported in stores for Fred Perry.
As we grow we have begun to scale up our regional events UK wide with the new DIY Now&Next Tour in partnership with leading promoter Kilimanjaro.
DIY Now&Next Tour was a UK wide sell out
