Did you know? 😯 98% of Brits use their commute to dive into a great playlist. 🎶 But new research shows the nation is stuck on repeat, with three-quarters of commuters listening to the same tracks over and over, despite more than half (57%) wanting more opportunities to discover fresh, up-and-coming talent.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Sofar Sounds to offer you an exclusive 30% discount on Sofar Sounds shows until Friday, 28 February 2025. It’s the perfect chance to discover incredible new artists while you ride the rails to work!
