The Live Music Act 2012 (c 2) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Act reduces regulation surrounding live music in small venues,[1] allowing venues with a capacity below 200 people to host live music between 8am and 11pm without the need to apply for a licence. The audience limit has now been extended to 500 people.
