Kate Nash to lose $16,000 from current tour as she keeps afloat with OnlyFans money

Kate Nash says she expects to lose about $16,000 (£12,000) on her North American tour and plans to use OnlyFans income to help meet the costs. Her comments highlight the financial strain on independent musicians and the difficulty of touring with a paid band and crew.

Nash began using OnlyFans in 2024 through her “Butts For Tour Buses” campaign, which drew attention to touring costs. She said earlier European and UK tours lost about £26,000 and £13,000 respectively, and cited rising expenses and restrictions as barriers to sustaining a music career. Her sixth album, *Cailín*, is due on 22 January 2027.
