RIP Mani, thank you for all the music you've brought us over the years. Through your incredible bass lines and magnetic spirit, we know for a fact, you've inspired a generation of future musicians to get up on that stage and play. 💛

IVW has made the decision to leave Spotify for a number of reasons. Ultimately they do not align with our values here at IVW. We’re excited to have moved all of our playlists over to Qobuz, where artists are remunerated more generously and the quality of the music is of a higher standard. #IVW26

Huge congrats to our good friend, Adam Webb, for his work bringing government legislation to stop the extortionate resale of gig tickets. Adam, who has been part of our IVW family for years and looks after our press, runs the FanFair Alliance ensuring fans get a fair deal when it comes to live music
