About

Make Music Day UK, formerly National Music Day, National Music Festival, and Music Day UK, is the name for the British component of the annual celebrations of music that takes place around the world on 21 June, known as Make Music Day in the Anglosphere. The concept of an all-day musical celebration on the day of the solstice was originated in 1982 by the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang and France continues it under its original name of Fête de la Musique. It was this event that inspired the current UK incarnation.

In the UK, the day was launched in 1992, on the initiative of Mick Jagger and Tim Renton MP, at the time Minister of State for the Arts, it ran until 1997. After an unofficial hiatus Music Day UK was formed and is the organisation that has been coordinating UK events since 2012.
