\n\tLONDON \u2014 A new Tube map showcasing the breadth of London\u2019s artists and music venues has been published as part of a campaign championing the capital\u2019s grassroots scene.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe map highlights record shops, nightclubs and historic locations across the city, as well as venues such as XOYO and Electrowerkz to institutions such as the Barbican. London-raised artists including Dua Lipa<\/a>, Dave<\/a> and recent Billboard U.K. cover star<\/a> Loyle Carner<\/a> also feature.<\/p>\n \n\tEach Underground line has been reimagined as a different aspect of the city\u2019s music scene, with the Jubilee line displaying London-made albums, the Metropolitan line showing independent record labels, and the District line listing \u201c25 artists to see in 2025.\u201d\u00a0The iconic map was designed by Harry Beck and first came into use in 1933.<\/p>\n \n\tLondon mayor Sir Sadiq Khan<\/strong> and Transport for London (TfL) joined forces with media leaders to devise the map as part of the London Creates campaign. Over the next month, it will be displayed at digital exhibition space Outernet London in Tottenham Court Road.<\/p>\n \n\tIn a statement, Khan said: \u201cLondon\u2019s grassroots music scene is renowned around the world. From providing opportunities for talented aspiring artists to develop their trade, to giving Londoners a great night out, our venues are an essential part of our life at night and provide a huge boost to our economy.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cHowever, they have faced huge challenges in recent years, which is why we\u2019re joining with partners across the capital to champion all parts of London\u2019s grassroots music scene. This special edition Tube map is a great way to highlight what a huge impact the scene has on our capital, as we continue to do all we can to support venues and build a more prosperous London for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMark Davyd<\/strong>, founder and CEO of Music Venue Trust, added: \u201cLondon is one of the world\u2019s great music cities, constantly reinventing itself with new sounds, new genres, and incredible new artists. The network of grassroots music venues in London are an essential part of what makes the capital\u2019s music thrive, delivering an extraordinary range of music, community and life changing experiences at affordable prices.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAccording to City Hall, London is home to 179 grassroots music venues, which in the last year have welcomed more than 4.2m audience members, hosted performances by more than 328,000 artists, employed nearly 7,000 people and contributed \u00a3313m ($417m) to the economy.<\/p>\n
