Live is Life Films Ltd presents a Picaro Films production, Live is Life — a new feature documentary due to launch in August 2026, made by musicians, filmmakers and fans who believe in one thing: The power of live music.
Join us on a classic road trip, a journey through the UK’s independent music scene — from the birthplace of heavy metal in the Midlands to iconic stages across London and beyond. Live is Life celebrates the venues, the fans, and the raw energy that makes live music unforgettable — and shows why now, more than ever, it needs protecting.
Why It Matters:
Grassroots venues launched the world’s biggest artists, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Oasis, Coldplay, the list goes on and on – and they’re under threat like never before. Through raw performance footage, candid interviews, and behind-the-scenes access, Live is Life celebrates the passion and the perseverance of venue owners, promoters and artists fighting for the future of live music.
Featuring:
Heartfelt testimonials and stories from multi-platinum selling legends, renowned musicians, iconic brands, the music media and more…
50% of film profits will be donated back into our grassroots scene via Music Venue Trust, directly supporting independent venues, emerging artists, and indie promoters.
"By supporting these venues, we can secure the future of live music"
Joe Elliott | Def Leppard
