Apple Music opening a concert venue in Battersea is quite the power move, and we're genuinely intrigued to see how they'll operate it without crushing the independent grassroots scene. The assertion that they're not in competition with smaller venues is reassuring but also raises some big questions about pricing, booking practices, and who gets to play there. For Cledvibes Radio listeners, this could be either a brilliant opportunity for emerging artists to reach a bigger audience or another example of Big Tech muscling into spaces that were built by the music community itself. We'll be watching closely to see whether this becomes a genuine partner to London's vibrant live music ecosystem or just another corporate vanity project.
