The Ditto Coffee x Rough Trade LIVE series will spotlight exceptional rising artists and give grassroots talent a platform to perform in some of the UK’s most culturally rich music communities.
The collaboration marks the latest phase of Rough Trade’s partnership with Ditto Coffee, the coffee shop and creative hub launched by Ditto to bring music and community together under one roof. Now, both brands are again joining forces to deliver a multi-city run of live shows curated specifically to uplift independent and emerging acts.

"The partnership between Ditto Coffee and Rough Trade is all about supporting and creating real grassroots opportunities. The Ditto Coffee x Rough Trade LIVE series gives emerging artists a platform to reach new audiences, connect with like-minded creatives, and perform in spaces that celebrate music, community, and great coffee. We’ll also be spotlighting standout talent from our Ditto Music Label Services roster, supporting the wider independent ecosystem."
