Live is Life 2026.

Live is Life Films Ltd presents a Picaro Films production, brought to you by a team of filmmakers, musicians, and superfans united by a single mission: to shine a light on the UK’s grassroots live music scene.

Join us on a cinematic road trip around the UK, from back room pubs in Sheffield, the birthplace of heavy metal in the Midlands, to London’s legendary club stages and beyond. Live is Life is an independently made, evocative documentary film that captures the grit, glory, and heart of the small venues and those unsung heroes who keep the independent music scene alive.

Why It Matters
Grassroots venues launched the world’s biggest bands—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 perseverance of venue owners, promoters, and artists fighting for the future of live music.

Heartfelt testimonials and stories from multi-platinum selling legends, renowned musicians, iconic brands and the music media.
