Overview

• Kate Nash, 37, launched an OnlyFans campaign titled 'Butts for Tour Buses' to offset rising touring expenses, including travel, staff wages, and accommodation.
• The move comes as Nash criticizes the music industry's financial instability, calling it 'completely broken' and unsustainable for many artists.
• She revealed that her OnlyFans earnings have allowed her to retain an additional crew member for her European tour, which would have otherwise been unaffordable.
• Nash framed her decision as a form of 'punk protest' and a statement on artistic agency, emphasizing the empowerment she feels in controlling her career and body.
• The rising costs of live music, which Nash claims have increased by over 30% since 2022, have forced many musicians to seek alternative income streams to sustain their art.
