Kate Nash Uses OnlyFans to Fund Touring Costs Amid Music Industry Challenges

The singer says her OnlyFans account highlights financial struggles in live music while empowering her to sustain her career and support her crew.

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.
