Kate Nash Turns to OnlyFans to Fund Touring Costs

The musician launches 'Butts for Tour Buses' campaign as rising expenses make touring financially unsustainable for many artists.

Kate Nash has started an OnlyFans campaign called 'Butts for Tour Buses' to cover the costs of her UK and European tour, citing the financial challenges of touring in 2024.
She stated that rising costs for travel, accommodation, and wages, coupled with stagnant gig fees, have made touring a financial loss for most artists despite increasing ticket prices.
Nash emphasized her refusal to cut corners on wages or production quality, framing her OnlyFans venture as a way to maintain high standards while funding her music career.
The campaign highlights broader issues in the music industry, where only a select few profit while most artists struggle to afford performing live, threatening diversity and accessibility in music.
Other musicians, such as Lily Allen, have also turned to platforms like OnlyFans for supplementary income, underscoring the financial challenges facing artists in the current economic climate.
