#letusdance is a new campaign in the UK backed by many big names including Fatboy Slim & Pete Tong. It urges the UK government to save nightclubs and venues by providing a stimulus package.

“LONDON’S DANCE VENUES AND NIGHTCLUBS ARE THE ENVY OF THE WORLD. THEY ARE A SOCIAL HUB FOR SO MANY COMMUNITIES AND A KEY PART OF OUR ECONOMY AT NIGHT. THE GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SPECIFIC SUPPORT…OF WHEN THEY CAN OPEN THEIR DOORS AGAIN. LIKE SO MANY NIGHT-TIME VENUES, THEY HAVE BEEN HIT HARD BY THE IMPACT OF MONTHS OF CLOSURE DUE TO COVID-19 AND ARE IN URGENT NEED OF HELP. THE GOVERNMENT MUST MAKE CLEAR ITS COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING JOBS IN THIS VIBRANT SECTOR TO ENSURE THAT LONDON’S NIGHTCLUBS NOT ONLY SURVIVE THIS PANDEMIC BUT THRIVE BEYOND IT.” – AMY LAMÉ, LONDON’S NIGHT CZAR
