Kate Nash Launches ‘Butts 4 Tour Buses’ OnlyFans Campaign to Fund Tour

English musician Kate Nash has announced the launch of a new OnlyFans page to help fund the continuance of her current tour.

The new page is part of a new campaign dubbed ‘Butts 4 Tour Buses’, which launches alongside the first date of the musician’s tour of the U.K. and Europe.

“Whilst touring is the best job EVER it is currently technically what you might call a passion project for a lot of artists in 2024,” Nash explained in a statement. “A recent survey by Pirate Studios found that whilst gig ticket & festival prices are sky rocketing & we are seeing a select few in the industry become millionaires or even billionaires from touring, the majority of musicians and artists are struggling to be able afford to actually play shows.

“Costs of travel, accommodation, food, promotion & employees have also gone up in price but musicians are not seeing changes in their gig fees to help pay for all these rising costs,” she continued. “So this Christmas I’m asking that buy either a piece of my merch or my arse on my new ONLYFANS account katenyash87 to support me paying great wages & putting on a high quality show as I will not sacrifice either of things. (No need to stream my music, I’m good for the 0.003 of a penny per stream thanks) Pogue Mahone everyone! 🍑❤️”

Nash isn’t the only artist to utilize OnlyFans as a source of supplementary income. In July, fellow English singer Lily Allen launched her own account to sell feet pictures, having explained via her podcast Miss Me? that she was considering the option.

“I have a lady that comes and does my nails,” she told co-host Miquita Oliver. “They informed me that I have five stars on WikiFeet, which is quite rare. My feet are rated quite highly on the internet.”

“She said that I could make a lot of money from selling foot content on OnlyFans,” Allen added. “And I’m like, ‘Not no.’”

Last month, Allen provided an update, noting that the income derived from the new career move had already resulted in the surpassing of the income made by her monthly Spotify streams.

“imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet,” Allen wrote on social media.

Allen’s remark came in response to someone who’d negatively commented on a post advertising her OnlyFans account. “Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this,” the fan wrote, to which the “Smile” singer added: “don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
