As part of the agreement, Outernet Live will benefit from Ticketmaster’s flexible technology and expertise in helping venues grow audiences, drive discoverability and deliver at scale.
Music is the the heart of Outernet and iconic Denmark Street is part of the Outernet district. Yungblud has his HQ and store on the street, music shops Rough Trade and Roland instruments have opened in recent years and the existing music shops have been preserved.

We want artists and their fans to have the very best time at Outernet Live and this really is a rebirth of our music venue.”
