On August 31st, RA, fabric and Jägermeister hosted SAVETHENIGHT 2023, an afternoon of panel conversations followed by a party.

We brought together some of the most important voices in London's dance music scene to discuss the challenges facing the industry today—booking fees, the staying power of venues, accessibility and more—and how best to move forward.

Here, Moxie, Shay Malt of Adonis and United Talent Agency's Hannah Shogbola took part in a conversation hosted by Tash LC about the current issue of surging booking fees. The discussion spanned the shifts each party has experienced in recent years; what challenges have arisen as a result; and how each pocket of the industry can work together to make the bookings process feasible.
